Everything installed properly as far as I can tell from the dxdiag log. Still having the problem? If so, use 1.0.5 for now and wait for 1.1 issues to be fixed (just periodically try the nightlies, I suppose). Sorry.

Please run Windows Update and install all critical updates.

If you are experiencing the same issue, please post a new topic with a dxdiag log.

The Ethernet driver did not install properly. Do a Repair install if prompted, or simply uninstall and reinstall it. Did the optical drive firmware update? Can you hear sounds in map editor?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. You can make a new topic in the "Server" subforum.

It would appear that the chipset drivers did not install properly. Can you try reinstalling them? If you try loading map editor, does that work without issue?

Funny, my father owns a Toyota FJ Cruiser (the vehicle in this picture).

There is a version of 0.5 that contains a working server browser, see here if you'd like to play still. Please see if this optical drive firmware will install properly. I don't know what else to suggest, except to continue to use 1.0.5 to play MTA:SA. Sorry.

Your laptop is very dated, and does not meet the minimum system requirements for running MTA:SA. It'd be simply luck if you got it running acceptably well.

That's fine, the first one is all I need. You have the latest firmware on your device. I suppose it's simply malfunctioning, or there is an issue with your system configuration. If you acquire a copy of Windows 7, you can install it using a USB flash drive.

Click the Start orb -> type "Device Manager" -> hit Enter -> expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives" -> double click the Optiarc AD-7201S5 device -> go to the Details tab -> change the dropdown of "Property" to "Hardware Ids" -> paste the first value here.
