Problem After I Save

[groug]

Afer I save my game in CJ's house, it comes back from the "save game here" screen and there's always this engine starting-type noise. Sometimes the mouse doesn't work, sometimes it does. Also, after I save twice in the same session (like, I play a mission, save, the noise comes up so I load my game, I play another mission, save), the game will crash within a couple minutes.

 

Oh, and one time it also straight up crashed about a minute after I loaded.

 

I've already tried reinstalling, and that didn't work. I doubt it's a hardware problem because I was just forced to reformat my computer and never had any problems at all before I did that. However, when I reformatted, I installed SP2, because my computer used to not be able to upgrade from SP1 for some reason. I thought that might be part of the problem but I don't really know what would have caused it.

 

Thanks.

Try running gta_sa.exe in compatibility mode (Win 98). It fixed problems with my mouse not working in the game.
