Title: gta_sa.exe problem, cannot start SA:MP
Post by: Stivi on November 30, 2013, 06:49:56 pm
GTA Single-Player works fine, but SA:MP doesn't even start.
This pops up:

Also, my windows is "corrupt" and doesn't saves any configuration. Any idea on how to work it out ?

Open regedit and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er]

Be sure:

"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
That may help with the configuration :)

I believe my windows is infected by a  virus called Softango, as far as my google-search said. I have lost many things, one of them is SA:mp servers. Whenever I restart my PC, I have no favourite server. When trying to join a random server, the problem occurs. This has been happening since yesterday.

Open regedit and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er]

Be sure:

"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
That may help with the configuration :)
I don't even have the "NoSaveSetting" file. This is all I have:

   Google what could be an adequate Microsoft Runtime C++ for the game, install it and should be opening with no problems.

Any further discussion of piracy in this topic will result in extreme forum warnings. Everyone who has posted here knows it is not allowed.

Stivi, if you are using pirated copies of the game, we cannot help you. I highly suggest you go purchase the game if you want it to work properly. Downloading game files when you should already own the game is a dead giveaway...

Stivi, come on skype and message me if you need some extra help. I probably have the fix for you. (you can also come on TS)

It is the original game, bought like three years ago. I didn't have any problem with it, until now.

The error doesn't show up anymore, but SAMP doesn't start. I click on connect and nothing happens.

   1. Restart your PC/Laptop/etc.
   or
   2. Ctrl+Alt+Del > Task Manager > Processes > Force Stop gta_sa.exe and samp.exe

Running the game under a new user login with "fix" the issue.

There's a problem with my windows, though. I can't log in to any of my users, it says the windows' corrupt.
Title: Re: gta_sa.exe problem, cannot start SA:MP
Post by: Ted on December 01, 2013, 05:59:47 pm
In that case if it's that bad a complete re install of Windows is the only resort in my opinion.

You have pretty much answered your own question, and any issues you are having. You'll have to do what Ted mentioned and reinstall Windows.

Running the game under a new user login with "fix" the issue.
Any time that happens, you should be attempting to repair or reinstall Windows. OS corruption will lead to a variety of other problems, including security and stability ones.

Have you been afflicted with malware in the past?

One thing you can do is grab your Windows install disc, or make a new one of the same exact Windows XP installation you have - moderator note: this is not illegal at all, since all you are really paying for is the right to use the operating system (serial key). Microsoft provides ISOs of their operating systems. Every link to Microsoft OS's here (http://deny120025.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/file-iso-windows-xp-vista-7-and-8/) is microsoft.com.
You can use the CD to initiate a repair, which will replace corrupt files with their originals. If you have not modified anything within your operating system (themes, explorer, etc... I fuxwitdat all the time) then you should not notice much change, aside from the fact that everything will work.

If that fails somehow, reinstall windows. That is the fix-all solution. If you want some personal help, just PM me or message me on skype.

Only if you use the same, exact version and already own a copy of the license for it, as the downloads would then simply be just media. Having the license key isn't an "all versions will work" sort of thing.

That is implied. The license will not work for any other version.
