GTA SA will no longer startup

If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. I think I need to re-install GTA SA because I did a system restore a few days ago to a point in time before I last played the game (I think), yet after I installed it. The shortcut to the game AND all the files for the game in the ProgramFiles(x86) folder are still there (it appears), but when I try to start the game, I'll get the loading disc for a second or two and then it just stops doing anything. Other games I have that I installed prior to my restore point are still there and work, but this one won't even start, which I would think it would since I installed it before the restore point. It could be something else entirely since I just got online for the first time in 6 years and I've done a lot of updates since (about 300 Microsoft updates, etc.).

 

I was thinking that if my game save files are still there, I might uninstall, reinstall the game and see if it works, but I sure don't want to lose all that time I spent getting to where I was. Can someone tell me where the save files are stored?

 

Thanks for your time. biggrin.gif

Your savefiles will be located in the GTA San Andreas User Files folder that is located in My Documents. The folder will also contain a gta_sa.set file. It would be worth a try to delete this file and check if the game works then.

To be more clear delete only the gta_sa.set file, which contains config data from the last game play. This file is created everytime you end a successful game play.

Since you have changed system data it is out of date.

Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm. Now, if I can just get past the Freefall mission. Been stuck there for three years and have just been replaying the game up to that point, since I wasn't online and couldn't come here for help. I'll search for mission help here because I'm 100% sure (well, 99.9% sure) that I'm not the only one that ever got stuck there.

 

Thanks again!

As soon as the enemy appears start your turn.

try to be above the target plane. Watch the blip on the radar, when it is pointing down you are above. square you are on the same altitude, pointing up you are below.
