Hello,

I will start off by saying that this is my first post and I'm happy to be part of this forum.

The problem I'm having is exactly what is shown in the image below:



This error appears right after the Rockstar video.

if you need I have my system specifications right here:

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.120504-1619)
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

Memory: 2046MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS
Display Memory: 512.0 MB (256 MB Dedicated)

I do have the latest drivers and windows updates.

Thank you in advance

Is it the first time you've played it or have you played it before (on the current PC)?

[dragon070809]

I have played it many times on this current computer, I had to reinstall windows because of a little problem & it worked before hand.

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.

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 =(

[OSullivan]

Did you download the game i.e. a cracked copy or did you buy it at some point?

[dragon070809]

I bought it from a game retailer a few years back

[OSullivan]

So you cannot get past the intro, as in you cannot try and load a game or start a new one?

[dragon070809]

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
