Problem starting game T.T

[xDaNx]

When I try to open the game it brings an error message that says "gta_sa.exe has detected a problem and must close", and the error report says:

AppName: gta_sa.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll

ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00001010

and also there's a temp file named 5913_appcompat.txt that says this:

the weird thing is that it never happened to me before I formatted the harddisk, and all other programs and games I've tryed work fine

I've a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, 512MB RAM DDR, GeForce FX 5700 LE 256MB and an 80GB HardDisk

I don't know what to do, last time I played it before formatting it worked perfectly, any1 knows what can it be? or if there's some file that I need and I don't have now :S

Hope someone can help me because I love this game

P.S.: Sorry about my bad english, is not my native languague

Oh man, so much code you know... Well first of all there's nothing wrong with your PC, your graphics card seems just fine man and all other stuff. Second of all, your english is just fine man. But one question dude, are you sure you're using a legal copy of SA?

[Jared]

XML Error reporting, thats new...

Anyway, try a reinstall first. Uninstall, then install again for better results.

[xDaNx]

yes is a legal copy, and thanks, Jared, u were right, I reinstalled it and now it works!! ^O^ I don't know how I didn't thought that ^^U
