Mashanta Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey all, I've just installed San Andreas for the PC, and I have the correct requirements (I think). But when I click on "Play San Andreas", it waits for a while then a message pops up saying "Original disc could not be found or authenticated". Now, I have Windows XP, Service Pack 2, AMD Duron™ processor, 1.79 GHz and 480MB of RAM. Now, that is not the case anymore, I can start the game up normally, the starting credits roll and the trailer sort of thing plays. But then, it comes up with a blank white screen, the fades to black, It now comes up with a menu that looks like this: Then, when I press the top buttons (assuming it's the play button), the music starts to play, then it closes down and I get an error message stating; "We have had to close down sa_exe, sorry for the inconvenience." Does anyone have any soloutions of what's causing this problem and how I can fix it? I'm going out of my mind here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashanta Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Nope, I just installed it, then tried to play it. I think I'll re - install it, see if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabin Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Sometimes this happens when the disc itself is defective. try returning it to the store for another copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I've had the same problem with GTAIII, but I was able to play it. Display was defected, it had dark screen (like it's always foggy night-imagine then real foggy nights then ) and textures were very bad quality, effects even worse (the smoke that appears when shooting out of a pistol resulted in almost completely black screen and the game was running 2X slower than normal, but I got used to it and kept playing and once it just fixed itself to normal display and speed and text re-appeared again. later, when I again installed it, it had the same problem, I re-installed it then and everything was working normal. try re-installing the game, and if it's still notworking properly, it might be that you have unsupported hardware or you need new drivers, or maybe the DVD was damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
