Where have you got the game from? Do you have any mods installed? Try to run the game in Windows 98 Compatibility mode.

If not, try this:
1) Uninstall San Andreas.
2) Delete the installation folder if it still exists. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).
3) Delete the Virtual Store copy of the installation folder too. The Appdata folder might be hidden. (e.g. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).
4) Delete the gta_sa.set file located at C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files.
5) Reboot.
6) Reinstall San Andreas.

Which Version did you Buy?
Are you playing with the Original DVD in the Drive?

kickass torrents and no mods

[miromiro]

Torrents? Piracy. Sorry, in that case we won't be able to help you. Go buy the game.

[lil weasel]

Not so 'kick-ass' if it doesn't work:
don't buy downloads.

Where to (Buy) Download:
Direct2Drive.com (for PC and MAC)
SteamPowered.com

Rockstar Warehouse for boxed games:
Buy Now PS2, XBOX, PC.
Rockstar Site
Also generally available at on-line sites…
Amazon.com (I got a replacement copy for 10.00$US)
and,
E-Bay (you might find a First Edition if you’re lucky),
GameStop, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and their dot coms, etc.
also, if you’re lucky some local Pawn shops, Swap meets/Flea Markets (But, beware of Pirated games. The Game comes on a single DVD not CD’s.
A Note for potential Modders:
Modding is easy with First Edition (Version 1 games are Hard to find).
Not so easy unless you work at it with Second Edition (Version 2 games on a DVD Disc. These are Currently available.)
Version 3 games are programmed to Not able to be Modded. (Downloads).
Although it may be possible to do limited modifications of the scripts.
