invalid samp file(wtf?)

[Exterminator]

So i keep getting this error each time i start samp, my favorites are wiped and my username is reset back to blabla09(A random 1 used on a dm server).

And now this keeps happening, i tried to reinstall samp, nothing. reinstall GTA sa, nothing, reformat drive E and reinstall on that drive, STILL!!

Do you have deny write permissions checked in your SAMP folder?

Do you have deny write permissions checked in your SAMP folder?

Idk, where is the checkbox?

[Bilbo]

Right click on the folder -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit (perform for all users)

Right click on the folder -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit (perform for all users)

the only 3 tabs i see in properties on SAMP folder are general, sharing, customize

[Fuzzy]

Are you logged in as Administator?

[Ted]

What did you do before this started to occur?

I cannot seem to recreate this error myself.

Did you install TXD hack?

Easiest shit I can tell you, worth a try. Always fixes problems for me. And very safe and guaranteed problem solver.

Download this program here(its free for a month) :

Install it as admin and un install SAMP and San Andreas with it, with each un install, select advanced scan and delete each and every file it shows you later (don't worry its 100% safe even in advance mod, it just un installs the game from registery values too in advance mode.)

Second, Go In documents > San Andreas User files > Delete gta_sa.set
Now, in same folder SAMP > Delete each file you see other than screens folder in case you wish to save the screen shots.

Now re start your pc and re install GTA and then SAMP. Game Will surely work now
