saeedy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 i am really sad upon the not working of my fav game gta sa. it was working fine till last night, but when i tried to open the game in the morning, it did not work. i tried best of my knowledge and found that there was no use. from the past five days i have been trying to come out of this prob. when i double click on the gta sa icon, it seems like 'working in backgound'(cursor) for a few milliseconds and returns to the normal cursor. sometimes when i check task manager>processes, i find that the file"gta_sa.exe" is present in the memory, but does not come front. my pc config: windows xp professional sp2. amd sempron 2800+ 64mb video memory, 192mb ram. sound and video drivers updated. sound driver is not digitally signed. please help. thanx in advance.

HerrieM Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Most of the time if people have this problem ity can be fixed by deleting the gta_sa.set This file can be found under My Documents in the map GTA San Andreas User Files. That is the fix that has helped me get over some problems.

HerrieM Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Then a full reïnstallation would be the best way to go. Make backups of your savefiles. And delete everything else.
