Well since your laptop has no issue with it, you could try to enable filesharing on the latop and share it with your desktop and try the install from the network drive.įirst make sure your user names / passwords are the same on both machines I've been playing on my laptop for a while now, but wanted to install on my desktop.
Like if you have alchohol 120% running, uninstalling that can fix it, and a few other things that you can try. I also have some other things that can fix a ran once, wont run again problem. I think I'll link to that idea in my FAQ. Interesting idea about the log out log in thing. Delete "gta_sa.set" file from your "GTA San Andreas User Files" directory, it's located in "My Documents", and then try and run the game.Ī) Make sure that your windows log-in account has a password, the change that you have to make doesn't allow a blank password to be entered.ī) Second click "gta_san.exe" (usually in Program Files > Rockstar Games) > "Run As" > "The following user"Ĭ) Select the user you have a passoword for, type in password, press OK.ĭ) Log out (if you dont the game runs really slow for some reason) There are 2 ways I know of that fix this problem:ġ. I've read about so so many people like myself that have installed San Andreas PC version, played once with no problems (some havent even had the chance to play it at all), but on the second attempt at running the game, a reading disc icon appears, it appears to be loading, sometimes a black screen will flash up for a second and then you are thrown back to the desktop.
