I recently downloaded GTA SA and SA:MP but have not been able to play it yet.

When I go to play SA:MP I get this message...




And when I go to play the game itself I get this...



Has anybody seen this before? If so are there any possible troubleshoots that I could possibly try...?

From which site did you buy your download?
V3 (the Download) game isn't easy if Modable at all, as it is programmed to resist modification.
Better results will be found with the Disc Version 2.

EDIT:
Please note:

SA-MP requires GTA:SA (DVD game for PC) v1.00 US/EU.
Version 2.0 of the DVD version can be downgraded to 1.0 using a third-party patch.
The Steam and Direct2Drive versions of GTA:SA are not currently supported and cannot be downgraded.

A friend helped do a step-by-by-step download. Personally I hate mods and am not trying to mod so that couldn't be my problem. I'm just trying to find a quick fix for this problem, if not possible I'll just go out and buy a hard copy of the game.

That's the Fix. You should buy the Disc.
