MTA crash after [stop playing with yourself] (have read FAQ)

[Ed_kostka]

ok so here it goes. i downloaded, installed, everything's where it should be. i start MTA SA and it doesn't do anything after the splash screen. im running windows vista. i deleted the GTA_SA.set, ive searched high and low for the nview desktop manager but its no where to be found on my laptop. so i was just wondering if someone knew a different way to solve this problem, or help me locate this nview desktop manager, because ive googled it and cant find any help anywhere. please help X_x

Well apparently you didn't read the FAQ properly or you would have known you need to update DirectX.

MTA crashes after the 'Stop playing with yourself' logo. Both single player and the MTA: Race ran fine before.

Try downloading the latest DirectX Runtime files from Microsoft. Also check in Task Manager, if gta_sa.exe process isn't already running.

If you run at any substandard resolutions (e.g. 960x720), try to change your resolution to a commonly supported one (e.g. 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1152×864, 1280×1024) by launching Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in normal mode, setting the new resolution and exiting.

so i followed the instructions that you put up, downloaded the program from Microsoft, then i run the program. it trys to install, then it gives me this error. "An Internal error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine problem." i found a file called DirectX.txt and it doesnt tell me much...

Erm.. How about checking the files it told you to check? Then google the error message(s) you find in there. We can't help you with them, as we're not Microsoft.

thats the problem though... i CANT FIND the files it tells me to look at, they aren't in the windows folder, and i ran a search for said files and apparently they dont exist. i googled where they could be and it just sent me to microsofts page to download more BS oh and i KNOW your not microsoft.
