Maybe you need to downgrade it. Pretty sure the Steam version of SA is like v3.0 or something. Your save files might be v2.0 or 1.1 if you ever downgraded before, or played with a disc or something and saved.

Try running it in Windows 98Windows XP SP2 Compatibility mode.

Try running it in Windows 98 Compatibility mode.

I can't tell if you're serious when you say this. Not that it's a stupid idea, I just dunno if I should be laughing or be diguisted by San Andreas's lack of future-compatibility.

Woops. Meant XP Service Pack 2. I've recently had to use 98 mode for Max Payne 1 & 2.

But on the topic of SA, when I installed a mod that reintroduced a load of stuff that was removed - you needed to run the installer in a different compatibility mode, the mod's installer in a different mode, and then run the .exe in a different mode and run it as an admin.

But OP should try Windows XP Service Pack 2, and set the .exe to "Run as Administrator."
