OSullivan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is it the first time you've played it or have you played it before (on the current PC)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon070809 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I have played it many times on this current computer, I had to reinstall windows because of a little problem & it worked before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSullivan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Okay here's a few things to try if you haven't already; Run as administrator Right click the .exe of San Andreas, run in Windows 98 Compatibility mode, If you have modded the game in any way uninstall the mods, If none of these work i would try deleting the GTA.set file in the San Andreas User Files folder in your documents. However, i would use this as a last resort as i am not 100% sure whether or not it affects your save game. Alternately, try uninstalling the game and re-installing it, providing you have the original DVD, although again this is more of a last resort.

dragon070809 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I haven't been able to get into game so I do not have a GTA.set file, and the other suggestions have not worked =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSullivan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Did you download the game i.e. a cracked copy or did you buy it at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon070809 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I bought it from a game retailer a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSullivan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 So you cannot get past the intro, as in you cannot try and load a game or start a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon070809 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Yes, that is the exact problem I am having. EDIT: I have solved the problem. My friend suggested I reinstall the v1.01 update, and that did the trick, thank you for you help Edited June 14, 2012 by dragon070809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
