Th3 ProphetMan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Why not update to SP3 I don't understand? Yeah, seriously people i doubt sp3 will make your systems slower at all, and it sure is safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer_Dufus Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well now I have my newer system that I built, I bought XP Home straight away for it. With my older system, I bought it prebuilt with Windows XP Professional loaded. When I had to reinstall, the install disk that the company provided was bunk and so was the product key on the side of the case. So I was using a pirated copy of XP Pro corporate just so I could simply install XP. I figured why should I pay for another item that I already paid for and can't use? But then they had the windows genuine advantage BS that wouldn't even let me get critical updates so I said "Hell with it" and bought another copy of XP Home. Why am I telling you this? Well there seems to be alot of negativity towards people running pirated versions. Now sure, not all are legitimate....but in my case (and I'm sure others have run into this problem) what I did wasn't necessarily wrong, given the circumstances with my invalid product key sticker provided by the builder (Cyberpower) [end soapbox] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s12538 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi guys, I have tried all these possible solution i.e. changing the compatibility to windows 2000, which did not bring up the the social club pop up window. I have also tried the IVAsiLoader which gave me the same output. I finally tried the installation of SP3 which gave me a STOP: 0x000000A5 (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4) blue screen. So if anyone has anything information to maybe help me to run GTA in SP2 or fix my STOP error after installing SP3 it would be very much appreciated. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
