Girish Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 this is bad... rockstar should release a patch to fix this... That is highly unlikely considering the fact that only a few users have had trouble running SA on Vista. I, for one, never had any trouble with SA on Vista Ultimate. I feel your problem has got something to do with either your graphic card or DirectX. Perhaps, if you decide to change your mind, try rolling back DirectX to 9.0c just to see if it works. In any case, you can always install DX10 anytime you want.

gtamodder Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 this is bad... rockstar should release a patch to fix this... I don't think they will, San Andreas wasn't even made for Vista, so they wouldn't support it, and I don't think they will ever make a patch. San Andreas worked fine for me on Vista, except only sometimes the mouse would lock up in-game (never happened in XP), But that was my only problem. I liked XP Better then Vista, so that's why I went back to XP. Also, because it lags on my PC With 2GB DDR2 @ 667mhz, a Quad Core @ 2.4Ghz, 10,000RPM HDD . But for your problem, have you tried updating your sound card drivers? I had this problem with mine, I have Realtek too, I updated mine, and it worked after that. You need to delete gta_sa.set (Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files) I would test a solution, but I am not putting Vista on my PC, Because it's full of bugs, and I have to pay a sh*t load of money just for it to run smoothly. I read that DX10 Is backwards compatiable, so any DX9 Games, will work in DX10 (Vista).

So, any games that work on XP should work on Vista. But do they? With Microsoft products, you can't be really sure.

Yes they work, I have tested mine, and they worked fine. Although System Requirements Lab, when I tested to see if my PC Met the requirements for some game (forgot what it was), but it was made for 2000 and XP Only. It said, Vista is not supported, and it still ran fine.

gtamodder Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 hmm, ok ill try rolling back to 9.0c I don't think you can in Vista, from what I've read. I read that if you want 9.0c, you will have to be using XP. And it's not possible in Vista, from what I read. The only other option I can think of is to re-install the Operating System, I remember I had to once, when my SA Wouldn't work. Then it fixed it.

gtamodder Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 If 98 compatibility didn't work, I would suggest using 2000, or XP Compatibility mode. Because I think 98 compatibility may not work, because SA Was not made for 98. It was made only for 2000 and XP. And try deleting gta_sa.set (Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files), if it is there.

I read that if you want 9.0c, you will have to be using XP. And it's not possible in Vista, from what I read. Ok, I'm not very sure, but try to install DirectX from your SA disc. I'm assuming it'll over-write the current DX files.

gtamodder Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Well, on SA V2 Box, on the back, it said minimum Video memory, 128mb. How much does your Geforce 5200 have? I have seen them came both in 64mb and 128mb.

gtamodder Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Its got 128mb That would be fine. After you exit the game/or if it exit's itself, try going into Task Manager, click processes tab, then if gta_sa.exe is there, close it's process (Sometimes it's there even when the game is closed (Mainly if it crashed). After closing it's process, try running the game.

gtamodder Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 nope. nothing You may not want to do this, but: Dual boot Vista and XP. It wouldn't work on my brothers PC With vista, even with updated drivers, tried for weeks and we couldn't. Everything suggested on the site in other threads, and wouldn't work. So we dual booted them both, and it worked in XP, But not Vista.

As told in your topic, the copy that you have will not work at any cost. There's no other way than buying the original legit copy of the game. As simple as that. Now please stop asking for help on your warez copy. Any such warez discussion is prohibited on GTAF.
