a required help

I have a problem with GTA san andreas game

 

I installed the game.It runs for 5-10 minutes then a crash develops.A black square box comes on the desktop and a dialog box appears-Gta sa has encountered a problem that needs to be closed(in this condition half of the desktop is visible and half is black)

 

In event viewer I saw several error messages like

 

1.Faulting application gta_sa.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module d3d9.dll, version 5.3.2600.2180, fault address 0x000f7e54.

 

I submitted the report to microsoft.it says to go to take2games.com and download an update

 

site-http://www.take2games.com/index.php?p=support&product=191%2C3%2CGrand+Theft+Auto%3A+San+Andreas+-+Second+Edition%2CPC%2CRockstar_Games%2Cgtasa&section=patches

 

but this site displays its home page but not the update page.

I tried reintalling the game but the error continues.

 

computer information-

intel pentium 4 CPU 1.90 Ghz,512 mb of RAM

 

windows xp professional service pack 2

 

intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller video card (64 mb)

the Windows 'help' is stupid it will always send you there, but there is no help.

The only download available is for the Version 1 game, as all fixes are incorporated in the later versions.

 

PRE-TROUBLE-SHOOTING QUESTIONS:

PROBLEM SOLVING:

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

Are you 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.
