[TheGameSter1100]

Umm, dude, Its San Andreas, not IV, But I think I blocked the application San Andreas (How to get to that menu to unblock?)

[cidamelo]

Hi friend, I'll try to help you! You said the problem can be that Windows is blocking San Andreas. To unblock San Andreas Click start, then run, and type **Firewall.cpl**. Go to exceptions and mark San Andreas!!!

Have you tried uninstalling SA-MP and then running the game?

Also, if you haven't disabled UAC, then do it immediately. That could be the one thing that can block the game.

What about the questions of Version # & Modability?

[radioman]

First of all, since you said you have the Trilogy Pack, then get rid of SA-MP, it only works with V1, and the Trilogy Pack is V2. and remember to delete the .set file from the User Files Folder in Documents(Vista and 7)/My Documents (XP). If this does not help, then PLEASE post the REQUIRED information from the PINNED Troubleshooting topic here:

Before you post a topic, please read the pinned bug lists/fixes. It is likely that you're not the first person to encounter a problem, and we may have found a solution already. In addition to these pinned topics, please utilize the forum search engine. adamcs has produced an extremely helpful guide which explains the finer points of successful searching, accessible here.

 

If all of the above is no help, you'll need to post a new topic. Please provide useful topic titles. "Help" or "problem" give us no insight into the problem - every topic in the Troubleshooting forum will no doubt entail a problem seeking help!

 

To get the most amount of help for your problem, we need as many details as we can get about your system's specs. Therefore it is highly suggested (read: demanded) that you provide:

• What platform: PC, PS2, or X-Box

• What version number of GTA: SA

• What CPU and its speed

• How much RAM, also what kind (DDR, SDRAM) and speed

• What video card and driver version

• Which version of Windows (and any service packs)

• Which DirectX version and driver version

• What sound card and driver version

• History: Is this your first install? Did it work once before? Anything that is relevant.

• Screenshots, if applicable. This is especially necessary with display issues which can be explained far easier by use of visual aids.

• Above all else, a detailed description of your problem. Give as much information as possible! Keep it relevant, though. We don't need a fifty-page printout from some diagnosis program. Usually the above prompts will suffice.

 

 

Also, are you using the Original DVD or a No-DVD crack? Are your Drivers up to date for the Video card, Sound card, DX, etc.? If on Vista, try what Girish suggested and turn off the UAC(making sure to re-boot PC after doing so), OR if on 7, Turn the UAC all the way down to low(as 7 does not allow you to turn it off completely-I tried that on my 7 laptop and all it has is the slider bar for low to high). just a heads up...

use the EDIT buton so you won't double-post.

And... It's either Vista Home Prem. OR windows 7.

Nice to see it's working!

And... It's either Vista Home Prem. OR windows 7.

 

I think he means that it was Vista when he bought it, and he got the free Windows 7 upgrade with it?...that's the way my laptop was, it had Vista Home Premium when I first bought it, but I qualified for the Free Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade when Windows 7 came out.

 

Also, Glad to help...
