Hello everyone,
I'm presenting the problem I'm encountering with Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on PC.

So, I bought GTA San Andreas today, I installed it, and surprise, at the end of the installation, I closed the window to then open San Andreas via the shortcut on the desktop and here's the error message that appears: (see screenshot below)

I had restarted my computer before launching it, I really don't understand what's happening.

I have the right configuration, even well above what's required, DirectX9, which I also installed since they asked me to during the game's installation.

Does anyone have a solution to this rather annoying problem, a game purchased today that doesn't work... it's not great.

Thank you in advance, hoping to find an answer thanks to you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello,
    I play San Andreas on Vista and I have a problem. When I launch the game, everything goes well; the ads at startup work fine, but when I try to start a game, at the loading bar, the game crashes and it says gta_sa.exe has stopped working.
    This happened after I added a map; the game bugged, so I uninstalled it, deleted everything, and reinstalled it, but the game still crashes. I play without a crack and with the DVD.

    Salut à tous, je n'arrive pas à lancer GTA San Andreas. Quand je lance, il me dit "mauvais disque inséré". S'il vous plaît, aidez-moi, j'adore ce jeu.

    Hello,

    I just installed San Andreas on Vista

    The game starts fine until the menu arrives.
    From there, it's almost impossible to do anything, the image flickers and letters of the alphabet appear and disappear continuously at the same time as the image jumps

    Do you have an answer? I haven't installed any patches

    Thanks

    for MisterV: you need to uninstall the map "manually", it doesn't go away with the uninstallation, and thus still causes problems (if you've done that I'm confused ^^)
    When the screen stays black, it might work by pressing the space bar (as someone said - excuse me)
    For the disk issues, there are nocd patches that fix it very well but I don't remember where to find them (there's one called "parche multilenguaje.exe")
    For alex83, uninstall and reinstall, lol, I don't see any other solution...

    Hello,
    I'm having the same issue with GTA San Andreas on PC. I even exchanged it at the store, but that didn't help.
    Let me explain my problem:
    I installed GTA San Andreas on my computer. (So far, everything works)
    Once the installation was complete, I installed DirectX 9.0C as requested and restarted my computer.
    As soon as I launch GTA San Andreas from the desktop shortcut, the screen goes black and then returns to the screen.
    Who can help me, as I'm not very good with computers?
    THANK YOU

    All the problems you have might be related to the fact that QuickTime is installed. Uninstall QuickTime completely and the game will very likely work (wow, what a rhyme^^)

    Hello everyone
    I also have this problem with GTA SA
    Having read a lot of forums, I'm going to bust some myths of certain people
    I formatted my whole PC and installed nothing except Win XP and GTA SA
    So QuickTime and co -> broken
    The game ran very well when I left everything "original"
    But I really want to modify the game, so I switched to version 1 through several methods as explained in this link

    http://www.gtaforums.fr/index.php?showtopic=610&hl=

    I tried to add cars with IMG Tool and install mods

    And the same problem occurs every time I load the game or start a new one: halfway through loading, the game returns to XP

    I don't understand much anymore and I don't know what to do

    Maybe it's a lead
    Sometimes when I want to install a patch, for example 2.00, it tells me that it doesn't recognize the version of GTA SA, why?? I don’t know...

    Thanks in advance to those who will help us find a solution to this problem and to your problems because there's no reason we can't have fun too.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the game's resolution; I set it too high, and when I launch the game, it says in a small rectangle: mode not supported. What should I do, please? :( Because after that, I can hear the game's sounds, but I can't see anything. :( Please help me.

    Okay, I managed to get it working. If your game is reduced, click again, or else press enter when the black screen appears.

    Good evening.
    I have a problem with GTA San Andreas. I installed the game and restarted my computer. Then I installed DirectX 9. After that, I started playing the game. Everything was working well. After finishing the game, I started another game. Everything was going fine!!!!! After, I installed some cars: I installed a Lamborghini, two Mercedes, and a Volkswagen. But after a few months, I replayed San Andreas and there is a problem: when I am in Las Venturas, everything is fine, but later, when I am in Los Santos or San Fierro, the game runs for 10 minutes and then it freezes. I can no longer move CJ and I have to turn off the computer.
    Can someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, I just fixed the bug problem when it gets stuck during loading
    I went to the site
    http://www.gtasa.fr/download.php?act=view&id=20

    - I downloaded the data file and replaced it in my game to make sure I have a good data file

    - then I used img tool, I deleted all the dff and txt files I had added and put back the car files that I downloaded to make sure everything was okay

    - I followed the readme or read-me files precisely and replaced the lines in the carmod files as needed...

    In fact, that's it, sometimes installing mods messes things up, so the quickest way is to install them manually because then you end up searching for the error for ages and then I uninstall the game and reinstall it and it messes up again and so on

    the error can come from anywhere, especially in the gta3.img file where there were several copies of the same file
    doing it manually is long but you just need to add a few of them from time to time and it works

    there you go, it's really cool, modifying GTA is huge

    Hello,

    I installed GTA San Andreas on PC, so until now, no problem :D then I learned that we can get new planes, cars, helicopters on gtasan.fr. I downloaded a new helicopter and when I launch GTA and click on load game, the loading happens and then stops halfway.... does anyone know why or can help me? (I think it might be a virus, but it's weird that my antivirus didn't find it)

    Thank you

    To respond to your problem, lil'ransNBA, I actually don't know too much
    me, I know that a long time ago, when I downloaded the game (and yes, I'm not ashamed to say I downloaded it because I bought it on PS2, but when I saw what you could do on PC... I didn't want to pay again) about a year ago, GTA, well, I had modified some cars and during the low riders mission there was a bug where the mission never ended. Is there a connection? I don't know
    maybe you modified something but not correctly, I don't know
    I'm going to add more vehicles to my game and see if it crashes or not.

    In fact, the problem occurred before I replaced the cars (by the way, I also downloaded the game!).

    Everything was going well, I saw all the cars that I downloaded in the game with the right colors and good graphics. I don't know how this happened!!
