Why i can't play SA:MP?

[Chris Collin]

Sitone,the steps that you teach me is half correct half wrong.And my window is windows 7.And when i press start,i will saw my samp-multiplayer and gta-shortcut  with picture.

Press start and go to ''computer'' , then press Program files (I think) then Rockstar games or just Games and then GTA San Andreas.
Do you even know where you putted your GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER ? Which documents etc.

[Chris Collin]

[Michele_Noord]

In which document did you put your SA:MP?

[Chris Collin]

I only saw a shortcut of samp and a thing is unistall.

Right click your shortcut of SAMP.exe and go to - Properties > Target.
That is the location of your GTASA directory right there.

Take a close look at my attachment it may/should be similar to yours. This is your San Andreas install directory which is where SA-MP should be pointed to.

Didn't think this would turn into a four page effort.

[Chris Collin]

Copy the thing and paste on target?

[Ted]

You install SA-MP in that directory you have now found. Destination Folder, should show your San Andreas installation if it does click install. If i doesn't point it to the San Andreas directory.

[Michele_Noord]

Go to your short cut of GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER right click on mouse > properties. Look at where this is located at. Then download 0.3e and put it at the same document where your GTA San Andreas SINGLE PLAYER is located.

[Chris Collin]

My single player is inside the rockstar folder.BUT WHEN I Browse then i press rockstar game but it can't install.

[Teddy]

You need to select the GTA SA folder inside RockStar games, not just the root rockstar games folder.

"Can't install".. What do you mean by this; You can install samp to C:\ILoveSAMP\ if the folder exists; it'll install it anywhere is my point. Are you getting an error? If you are getting an error you will most likely need one of the following.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=5555 x86
or
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en....aspx?id=14632 x64

These should most likely already be installed if you use Windows Update, however fresh installs/lacking the update button can create a problem. This is normally only a server problem; however can still be a cause.

If you are getting an error and you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 try running as administrator.
If you are using Windows 8, this could be a driver issue or some sort of C++ error in the latest build.

While by the way you are describing it. It doesn't seem like a problem with SA:MP, or the GTA files.

Hope it helps
