Hello GTA friends smile.gif

 

I un-installed GTA SA from my Program Files in C: and intalled it again because I needed the hard disk space for properly defragging the volume...

 

Left the User Files in My Documents (to save 2 or 3 important save files, the Picture Galleries and Music User Files that were already there) - don't think this is the problem..

 

I can't get the game to load or even get in the Start Menu.. No icon appears on the E: DVD drive either...

 

I'm running on a Pentium 4 CPU at 2.00 GHz with 512 MB RAM

 

NVIDIA MX GeForce 440 (64 MB) graphic video card

 

Windows XP Pro SP2 (2003)

 

Everything ran great before, I just don't get why I'm "stuck" now...

 

Any kind of help will be greatly appeciated. Thank You.

Delete the set file from the User Files folder.

Run the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode.
