Fappy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well San-An used to work...now when I double click the icon on the desktop the little spinning disc icon goes and my dvd-rom kicks on for a second and then just stops. Heres the twist...when I right click on it and push "Run as" and then a window pops up and it says " current user and theres a check box that says "protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity"....it runs only if this is checked...I can't load my old save file and I cannot save while in this mode so my games pretty much useless....had anyone had this problem? I duno what to do...other than return the game. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillies Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 What sort of changes have you made to your software or hardware between the time when the game worked and now that it doesn't? Some of these might be possibilities (e.g. if you changed your account type, or if you installed a CD-ROM emulation program or something, this is from the 1.01 FAQ)... Q: GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas does not start when I launch it, it just returns to the desktop?A: You may have a corrupt settings file. Try deleting you GTA_SA.SET file. A: You need to have administrative priviliges to run GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas. A: If you are using WindowBlinds, you will need to add a manual exclusion for GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas so WindowBlinds applies no skinning. A: It may be that your DVD-ROM device requires a firmware update. Check if the manufacturers have updated the firmware and if so is it documented to cure security incompatabilities. A: Your DVD-ROM could be incompatible with the security system we use. Browse to the directory that you installed GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas into, and right click on the gta-sa.exe file and select ANALYSIS. This will create a file in the root of drive C: Send this analysis file to us ONLY if requested. A: You could be running a virtual-drive type program. Please close any software such as this before launching GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas A: You may have Sonic DLA or Windows XP's inbuilt CD writing enabled. Try disabling these and re-launching GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
