Have you tried running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode? See if it makes any difference.

PROBLEM SOLVING:

If you have changed OS or Screen settings, If your system upgraded anything (drivers, etc) Delete the GTA_SA.set File.

you Are playing the game in W98/XP mode, with Administrative Privileges?

And... before people here begin investing a lot of time trying to fix a possible NO-FIX situation:

How are you playing:

1. With the Original DVD in the Drive?

2. OR are you Using a 'backup' disc?

3. Are you Using a No-CD program or crack?

4. With a Downloaded game that did not come from Direct2Drive or SteamPower.com?

5. Other source? Please specify.

 

Also: When posting a problem, be sure to include the following:

• Operating system (Windows 7, XP or Vista, and which Service Pack you have)

• Video/Graphics card type and dedicated graphics memory (or shared memory?)

• Processor

• RAM (random access memory)

• If you have installed mods, search or post a topic in the MODDING forum

Answering these questions may help to identify the problem

We are trying to help you, but it's not going to help unless you co-operate. The crash could be a result of your improper crack. If you have the original disc, it's highly advised that you run the game from the disc. Do not use any sort of crack.
