And isn't there a support section for this? Or maybe that's just hardware. . . .

What is the benifit of putting gta_sa.exe on 98 compatibility, because I only use it on samp.exe (I leave gta_sa.exe on default) and it seems to work okay?

If you don't put in on 98, when you try and close the SA:MP window, you'll get message box spam. There was some other problem I think, but I don't remember what it was.

To fix the error spam you can download the SAMP 0.2x U1 update.

Post by: Kitsune on June 08, 2009, 09:47:22 am: Seeing as I don't need to worry about the popup spam any more, I tried playing without any compatibility set for samp.exe and gta_sa.exe and they seem to work fine. Moreover, I can actually see my system temperatures when I play now (I use RivaTuner and Everest). I figure that setting on compatibility mode blocked the on screen display for the temperatures.
