Chewie Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 What password thing and are you using a no-cd crack? Do you have the original copy of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 TROULESHOOTING:forum? You didn't say: Are you playing the game with the Original DVD in the DRive? Are you playing a downloaded game, from? Are you trying to play the game from a Hard Drive without the DVD using a no-cd program/crack? Are you using a 'backup' copy or firends copy? When posting a problem, be sure to include the following information about your computer: Operating system (Windows users: be sure to mention if you have XP or Vista, and which Service Pack you have) Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory Processor RAM (random access memory) If you have installed mods, there is a Troubleshooting forum in the Modding sections This may help to identify the problem.

Girish Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I've Got The No Cd Crack From gamecopyworld.com This could be your problem. Get rid of the crack and play the game from the disc. You haven't mentioned which OS you have - XP or Vista? And which Nvidia graphic card is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Turn off UAC from Control Panel and try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. Right-click on gta_sa.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Set it to Windows 98 > Apply > OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Try deleting the Virtual Store copy of the game. It's located here: C:\Users\???\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas The Appdata folder might be hidden. If that doesn't help, reinstall the game. Did the game ever work before? Have you updated your video drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcL Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Still Doesnt Work The Game Worked Before I Should of mentioned this before i started my computers pixels f*cked up so i rebooted my laptop & i had lines comin down my computer like pixel lines you can't really see them. so i tryed installin the game after i rebooted & it just didn't start do u think the pixel f*ck up might be somethin to do with it?

Girish Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Are you facing any issues with any other games? I suggest uninstalling your video driver, use Drivers Sweeper to wipe the drivers completely off your system and then reinstall them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcL Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 yeh i am but i'm worried cause the last time i installed a driver my computer would not boot up so i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It might be a driver issue, that's why I asked you to reinstall the drivers. You have nothing to worry about even if the driver f*cks up. If you're unable to boot, you can always start the PC in safe mode and get rid of the faulty driver. Just try what I said in my previous post and let me know if it makes any difference.

Girish Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Which drivers are you using right now? The ones that are on the disc? Have you checked if there are any updates available for your video card? If yes, then I suggest you downloaded the latest drivers and install them.

lil weasel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) so i unistall all the drivers right ? then i reinstall with the disk i have which came with my laptop or another one? If you don't use the Disc that came with YOUR laptop the hardware config will be wrong. If you have installed New Hardware use the disc that came with the New Hardware or allow the computer to find the prober driver on the internet if connected. If you use a setup disc from a different computer it will bug up your system, as the hardware config will be different.

Girish Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Download GPU-Z from here. Run the application and it'll tell you the exact name and number of your graphic card. It'll also tell you how much VRAM you have. Post that info here or just post a screenshot of the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girish Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 There seems to be some kind of a driver issue. Go here: Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products. Use 'Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products.' and it will find the drivers appropriate for your graphic card. Install those drivers and check again.
