You Shouldn't lose any SAVED progress, even if the game is uninstalled that file set isn't affected.

 

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. OR a Downloaded game 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

Try reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime from the SA disc. I don't recall if it's there on the disc, but try looking. Or you can download and install it from Microsoft's website. Once that is done, reinstall the game and delete the gta_sa.set file from the User Files folder.
