Black Screen at Startup

[Nathaniel484]

I recently installed MTA, and it's really fun and all. I'm trying to help my friend install it, but he says he keeps getting a black screen at the start up. He also says when he goes to MTA San Andreas/MTA that a few files are not there. I send him my MTA San Andreas folder and told him to replace all the files. Still didn't work. I'm going to have him post his specs here. Please help, re really want to play together-- no homo.

Yes, please post a dxdiag log. Press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, press Enter, click Save all information... and post the contents of the saved log here within

tags.

EDIT: Whoa, that is extremely marginal, even for GTA:SA. Your friend may not be able to run MTASA at all, but post a dxdiag log regardless using instructions above.

I was running San Andres on 1530Mhz + GF4 MX 440 64MB + 256MB RAM (GTA, not MTA). Maybe there's a chance..
