Try this.

 

• Remove the No-CD crack

• Go into your San Andreas User Files and delete the file called gta_sa.set file

• Uninstall the game

• Check to make sure no SA game files are remaining

• Install the game and ditch the No-CD crack

I can't help but wonder if your CPU might be the problem. The Sempron's is a server processor. Server processors have a different architecture then normal desktop/laptop processors.

 

Don't double post please. Use the "Edit" button next time.

try this, it is similar to what unlimited said but give it a try, mayb it'll work

 

1) uninstall the game

2) now, remove all files from Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas manually

3) delete gta_sa.set file from My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files folder

4) reinstall the game

5) play

6) start a new game, mayb the problem is with ur savefiles

 

oh one more thing, if u hav recently changed ur hardware, like installed a new vdo card or sound card, then make sure they hav the latest drivers

If the problem was with the save file, it would crash when the game loaded the save file, not after the Nvidia scene right when the game first loads up.

 

So you can play other games with no problem at all; it's just San Andreas that gives you this problem?
