posting before reading the posts, eh?


No.

I've had this problem before numerous times, and I've helped many people fix it.

... I didn't see you post about changing to windows server?

EDIT:

FYI, I never read other people's posts on a topic, only the actual main topic post. (In such situations, like this topic.)

Changing compatibility to "Windows Server 2003 or 2008" is exactly the same as changing it to "windows 2000" or "windows 97/ME" which are more stable compatibility settings which have been used and recomended many times.

Haha.. :D

Go to Rockstar games folder.

Right click SA:MP icon, properties, compatibility tab - set to Windows Server (whatever one it is).

Do the same for the GTA:SA exe.

GTA:SA doesnt even work on its own. SAMP isnt installed yet.

Oh, but guess what?

Install SAMP. D-:

I changed the compatability of SA, I reinstalled it, I restarted my PC, I downgraded it, I left it, I did EVERYTHING.

It still does NOTHING when I click it.

Wash i know it didnt work, i had told him to try it earlier,
there will also be no use of installing SAMP if GTA SA on single player wont even work, theres some system issue, either hardware or software which is causing some conflicts,
  
Tried also running GTA SA as "Administrator" ? but i doubt it will fix it, tho its worth a try.

It will.. lol.

I can describe the problem myself, because I've had it many times.

You click on the icon, and that circular animation appears that indicates that it's 'busy' - it appears for like 1-3 seconds and vanishes. Nothing happens, right?



Mango, in what compatibility did you run it in..?
