Guest Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 ok, so this happened yesterday for the first time and the first time i've ever on my windows xp system (service pack 2). been playing mtavc for years and mtavc 0.5 since it came out. anyways i was playing and then crashed as usual. however whenever i try to click on my executeable file again to lauch mta, it gives me this error: windows cannot access the specifieid device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. so i tried researching and did some of the things the others tried but to no avail. searched and cleared all spyware/malware, etc; ran registry cleaner, etc ... did all the necessary steps, but still get the error. can anyone help?

Jani Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 All I can think of is check the target is still correct...I think this is the default: Also try posting a screenshot of what you get. Link to comment
Wes4real Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 the same thing happened to me for the first time ever today, i did spyware sweep, put everthing back to defaults, and still nothing, and yes i am admin on my computer.... Link to comment
Guest Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) samething has happened to me, my system is secure, i am admin and it was working fine yesterday. Also when I right click on the mtaclient.exe, it takes a long time to bring up the options. I have xp sp2, im thinking its something to do with the registry. I'm currenting looking through it, if you have any ideas message me: [email protected] Edited December 8, 2005 by Guest Link to comment
Wes4real Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 man, i need to fix it, i have server waiting, and my clan members are getting mad !!! Link to comment
Jani Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 @ Phope Browse to the directory and make sure the exe is there. Also make sure it's not had permissions or anything changed on it. If it looks ok, uninstall MTA and delete the folder. Then install it again. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 uhh I did all that already, i also deleted all the registery keys that had multi theft auto in them. Now when I install the program the exe icon turns into a different icon. I don't think it is because I deleted the registry keys, seems to me like xp has issues with mta Link to comment
Jani Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 gdawg found out that it was AVG antivirus which caused the problem. Try removing that if you have it. Link to comment
Guest Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 yeah it was avg, ill be emailing them later about the issue, thank you!! Link to comment
