hi, im having major problems with gta sa, if you will bare with me ill explain the situation. firstly this a 100% ligit copy of Gta which i brought about 6months ago, when i first got the game i installed it fine first time, but was having problems with the start up of the game, unable to solve this i uninstalled. since then i have played the game on my GF comp and it runs fine (same copy).
last week my mate told me about the problems with start up and the solutions such as (deleting of file in my documents) and (turning sound proformance to basic) with this good news i then went to reinstall the game, but to my horror about 30% into the install i get a (Catastrophic failure) message and cannot complete the install.
The game is the single disk DVDrom version.(good condition)
Os: windows XP prof Sp1
Prossesor: AMD Atlon xp2200+ 1.79ghz
Graphics: 5600fx 256 nvidia
Ram: 1.00gb
sound: Creative sound blaster Audigy platinun ex (24bit)
no screen cap but this is what it looks like and is exactly what the error says.
