Vice City PC is annoying the hell out of me.

1. Every time i start it, it freezes on the title screen. I have to ALT+CTRL+DEL it and then restart it for it to work at all.
2. My draw distance is maxed out, and yet i often outrun it while driving a car or a bike. And it's not hard either, it always happens after 10 seconds of driving or so. I start seeing texture sets that are meant to be seen from a distance, etc. If i drive even faster, i eventually stop seeing textures on some objects, and end up hitting invisible walls.

What do i do? The first isn't a huge deal. But the second is driving me insane!
