Have you tried to reinstall with the original game?Or were you obtaining the game by downloading it from internet?

Well, yes. I've tried.

Still nothing happens.

The game is original, though.

Is your game version 1.0?

Do you have the correct drivers as in programs, and are they updated to the newest version?..

Firstly patch the game to 1.0 using this LINK (http://frog.serverffs.com/gtasapatch.zip)

Then download the Client HERE (http://files.littlewhiteys.co.uk/get/sa-mp-0.3d-R2-install.exe) (I always use lilwhiteys)

See if it works, if it doesn't, right click your samp.exe and put it so it runs in compatibility mode to 98/Me

If that doesn't work, then right click gtasa.exe and change the compatibility to XP Service Pack 2.

If that doesn't work, try running as Adminstrator.

I assume you've tried re-installing?

Basic thought, but have you tried restarting your PC?  :razz:

un installed / re installed / restarted all that.

still nothing.

using a no cd crack? (not illegal, removes hassle of finding disc in dust cupboard)

I guess the problem would remain unsolved if someone hasn't come up with a right answer. Maybe there's missing devices that you have not noticed yet. How did you play GTA SA before? Try updating or installing the drivers of your devices

I played it normally, like everybody.

Reinstall it in a different place.

E.g. Instead of Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas, do Rockstar Games/GTASA2

Make a new windows account and try to play it from there. Worked for me when i had that problem ;)

Install under a different directory, usually fixes problems like this for me.

Like unstead of ......Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas use .......Rockstar Games\GTA SA
