Title: Problems with starting SA
Post by: Tovenaarke on July 21, 2007, 02:17:49 pm

Hi dear SA players,

I dont know where i need to post is, so i try this way:

I have problems with starting my SA game. I have never had this problem, so i dont know what to do. Its not only the SAMP, but also my 'normal' version (SP). When i try to start a game (connect with SAMP or double click my SA game), he seams to start, but dont do a thing (the computer 'thinks' for a sec, but dont start the game)

So my suggestion is to restart everything, it means reinstall SA. But do i loose everything? I mean on my account i had like 400k, and thats not less (i want a home, so i collect some money :-))

My name is the same on the forum as i the game.

It would be nice when someone could help me! Ty alot!!

Your account is a profile, re-installing SA will not affect your money and stuff.

You probably mean that he changed your monitor refresh rate - this is the speed of your monitor.
The higher it is - the better it is for your eyes :)

So... go to your desktop, right click it, press properties.
Now go to settings, press advanced, press monitor.
Be sure to click on "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" - it should be checked.
Try playing with the screen refresh rate...

Also, on the same window, you should see a button on the top called Troubleshooting.
After you've opened it, make sure that your hardware acceleration is at full...


Cheers and I hope this helps,

Did you look at "Troubleshooting" ?
That might be the problem.. :)

Also, have you installed your video card drivers? Do other games work?

Cheers,
