Windows 7 - GTA Single player loads up on SA-MP

[Void]

Go into your C:/Program Files/Rockstar Games (or where ever you keep the GTA SA directory)
Add a "2" to the end of your directory name so it says, "GTA San Andreas" to "GTA San Andreas 2".

Right click your SAMP and/or GTA SA shortcut and in the "target" and "Start in" boxes, add a 2 to the end of "GTA San Andreas" again. (example - Target: "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas 2\samp.exe")
SAMP will say it can't locate your directory and a menu will come up asking you to select the directory. Select the "GTA San Andreas 2" folder.

This ?

I have already tried with different file names. Doesn't work

Then I'm afraid you'll need to make a XP partition in order to play

  Reinstalled on windows 7 using GTA SA 1.01, and game seems to be working fine now.

However, when on SA-MP, it loads up single player instead :S. I click on Argonath RPG. A white screen appears, sometime later followed by the ROckstar logo and spraycan noise. It returns to white then loads up the main menu "Start game" etc...

Any ideas?

Downgrade using a downgrade patch (search on google ;p)

Yeah, you most likely need to downgrade it.

http://sa-mp.com/download.php and click on "Version 2.0 of the DVD version can be downgraded to 1.0 using a third-party patch."

  After re installing windows 7 it seems to work. I did need to downgrade it (after I had upgraded it lol), and seems to work. So, non the wiser, its ok for now.
