SA:MP not running...

[Hess]

Well ever since my documents file went "corrupt", I've had to reinstall every program inside that file (don't ask why I installed them herein the first place) but now they are under Program Files. Anyway, I had to "get" San Andreas again and also download SA:MP from this site but I've been facing all these problems with it

First, I started getting a few .dll errors. One after the other until I had pretty much copied all the .dll's in the San Andreas to the 'system32' folder. But now, the game tries to run but crashes straight away, not even going to the credits/loading screen...

I am not having any of these problems with single player, it runs perfectly fine. It even worked when I was getting the .dll errors with SA:MP. Any suggestions as to why it won't run with SA:MP?

Erm... is that the ONLY way? I think that should be a last resort...

Did you install SA:MP in your GTA:SA folder ?

Ok, I will try that

Did you install SA:MP in your GTA:SA folder ?

Yes, it wouldn't let me install it anywhere else.

Also, the previous version of SA:MP i had installed was "0.1b" or something which worked with the current version of scripts and was installed in a seperate folder to GTA.

Downloaded and installed "DirectX 9.0c" and no result...

I am not too keen of reinstalling windows so I will continue to try and fix it in every other way
