Thomas. Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Sometimes your Graphics card can stop the game loading up, if the graphics card hasn't the right specification the game may shut itself down. Whats your specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, when my GFX card was broken, it only shows the sand clock thing when I start SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSanityHD Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Riki, you also need to be sure that you have the correct "scripts" files in that folder in your GTA San Andreas directory. As TFY said, you may have a graphics problem. Also, make sure you have correct administration privileges, on your computer's user name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustADummy Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 That's your problem. The "virus" files stayed there. Therefore, the anti-virus doesn't detect them with no reason. You must have to format your computer and then install Windows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSanityHD Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) Riki, Make a backup of your files, restart your computer, put your Windows installation disc in, press "R" before the Windows boot logo appears. Delete your hard drive thing, and create a new one. I did that. Then re-upload your files that where backed up. If you know what files the virus is hiding in, then delete it, and empty the recycle bin, then re-scan your PC for viruses. Try that EDIT: ^ He means, when the man repaired your computer, he re-format the hard drive. (I think) Edited February 10, 2008 by I©e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSanityHD Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well, if your CD is infected then no. The best solutions are to either scan your disc (right click, select your anti-virus) or buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
