I saw the other post re: Vista 32 problems, but this is happening on a XP 32 machine.
I have version 1.0 and I'm using a cracked EXE so I don't have to have the CD in, though that's never given me any issues before, as SAMP works and MTA used to work, but I tried MTA maybe 6+ months ago?
So is this just one of those you're shit out of luck problems that no one has any real answer or solution to? Shame, MTA seemed promising.
