Danger Is Go Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The game won't start up anymore, and when I try to get into my gta3.img file, it gives me an error that says "Read beyond end of file." I don't have a clue what that means, so I don't know what to do. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/442704-cant-get-the-game-to-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Is Go Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Format your hdd and reinstall windows, then reinstall the game? That seems a little excessive.

lazloisdavrock Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Format your hdd and reinstall windows, then reinstall the game? That seems a little excessive. Uninstall the game again, go in your system registry and delete anything Rockstar games related. Then restart, Install again.

DarrinPA Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Format your hdd and reinstall windows, then reinstall the game? That seems a little excessive. Really? Well, if that's too much for you - try going out and buying a new computer - but remember to destroy your old computer after purchasing the new but before turning on the new one. Because if you mess up the order in which you destroy the old one you have to start all over. Or voodoo. Have you tried voodoo?

lazloisdavrock Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Okay. I deleted my user files, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it's still f*cking doing this.

Mainland Marauder Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Moving to Troubleshooting. Now, serious replies or none at all please. Danger Is Go, you are most definitely going to have to reinstall at the very least, so it's probably best to accept that much.

lil weasel Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Start over: Presumed you have Vista: Remvoe all mods. If you're on Vista, you'll need to do this: 1) Uninstall SA. 2) Delete the installation folder if it still exists. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas). 3) Delete the Virtual Store copy of the installation folder too. The Appdata folder might be hidden. (e.g. C:\Users\???\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas). 4) Delete the gta_sa.set file from your user files folder. 5) Reboot. 6) Reinstall SA. It would be nice if you could Iform what: Version is game If the box/disc doesn't say you may have Version 1. 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 dedicated memory Processor RAM (random access memory) You are playing with the Originial DVD in the Drive, you are not using a No-CD program/crack?
