I have a windows 98 and I already installed the game. Whenever I try to start the game it comes up as needing 800x600x20 video mode. I don't know what this means. Is the something to download to get this or what?

GTA SA Minimum Requirements:

1GHz P3 or equivalent

256MB RAM

GeForce 3

3.6GB hard drive space

DVD-ROM drive

Windows XP/2000 with SP1

 

Maybe someone knows the way to make it play on Windows 98.

Try deleting gta_sa.set file in C:\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files.

After deleting the file, start the game again. Also do you have up to date video drivers and DirectX 9 installed?

You can't use mods on PS2, and don't double post. Someone else might be more helpful with your problem.

Please post your system specs, so far you’ve only told us your running on windows 98, so unless you’ve recently upgraded your PC I’d imagine your other component’s don’t cover the SA Minimum Requirements CCPD posted above.

You need to post your system specs so we can tell you what you need to upgrade,

 

 

 

• Operating system (XP users: be sure to mention if you have SP1 or SP2)

• Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory

• Processor

• RAM (random access memory)

 

 

Maybe it’s time for a new computer?

Have a look at the minimum requirements. Your specs are lingering at the border.

Which graphic card do you have?

800x600x20

800x600x32?

Right click on empty space in desktop > Properties > Settings

Set the Screen Resolution slider to atleast 800x600 and the color quality to 32 bit.

Please read the posting requirments:

It will be of much help to you.

 

If you are running on Windows 98, San Andreas will refuse to run on an operating system lower than Windows 2000. You could always upgrading your operating system.

It's already on 800x600 but the color quality only goes up to 24.

Please tell us if you're running on Windows 98 or Windows Xp, I'm a bit confused on that. A I suggested before, it might be better to upgrade your operating system if its Windows 98. Also, make sure that you've got the latest drivers for your graphics card. If your PC is too old, perhaps its time to upgrade it or get a new PC.

My computer is a Windows XP. It's 2002. and the color quality goes up to 24. I'm not sure of what to do. Is there a way to upgrade the color quality. please tell me? I'm going insane. I really want to play San Anderas with the mods downloaded in to it. Because the mods look really cool. smile.gif

In that case why the hell did you put Windows 98 in your first post? You just confusing us.

 

 

When posting a problem, be sure to include the following information about your computer:

 

Operating system (XP users: be sure to mention if you have SP1 or SP2)

Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory

Processor

RAM (random access memory)

 

This will help us to identify the problem.
