Did you use beta drivers? If so, try using the fully stable ones. If you didn't, try the beta ones :P Maybe it was a problem they didn't know of and the beta ones fixed it.

How exactly does it 'stop working'? Just fails to start, or does an error occur during the game?

yeah m8, it just wont even boot, i click on the icon and nothing happens not even the eggtimer, gona try your suggestion and install new drivers and reinstall the game, to see if that helps.

cheers for the quick reply :thumbsup:

When I installed a new video card in my PC, I had the same problem you're having.

I deleted the gta_sa.set file in the GTA San Andreas User Files folder, and everything worked fine after that.

The gta_sa.set file doesn't get deleted when you uninstall the game, so it has to be done manually.

I had to reconfigure my settings after that, but that wasn't a big deal.
