There are 2 main patches that you will want to make for GTA3.
 
The first is the file you download from MS which updates a DirectDraw file.
Incidentally if you are running WinXP SP1 & DirectX 9 this update file doesn't work, so I can only assume this issue was fixed in DirectX 9.
 
The second file is the 1.1 patch for the actual game.
You might have some luck downloading that from here:
