WTF: Multi Theft Auto and GTA San Andreas stopped working

[SexyNerd96]

MTA and GTA: SA stopped working.

I didn't install updates or do changes on the computer, they just stopped working suddenly.

This is what happens:

If I start MTA or GTA: San Andreas, after the big "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" screen, it just closes without any error.

I have tried the following:

Deleting the gta_sa.set in the "San Andreas User Files" directory but not worked,

Checking in the "dxdiag" window if the 3D acceleration was enabled but it's ok,

Checking if there was a d3d9.dll in the main directory, but there's no one,

Creating a new user account... not worked.

So I have decided to reinstall GTA: San Andreas and MTA: San andreas, with no luck, still crashes.

Then I have tried to plug in a Xbox360 controller and now SA and MTA work, but I can't use this controller 'cause it's not mine... when I unplug it and I try to run MTA or SA, they just close and bring me back to desktop.

MTA and GTA: SA were working PERFECTLY, then they stopped working without any reason, what happened? I can't understand

I repeat: I didn't change ANYTHING in the system configuration, I didn't install ANY update or application.

My System:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5000+ 2.66 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 512 MB

RAM: 3 GB DDR3

OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Please help me

EDIT: Tried to install the latest DirectX libraries, still crashes

If your MTA crashes on startup or during game load, download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. If MTADiag will not run for you, install Visual C++ 2012 runtimes first.

and then post pastebin link in here.

Your Grand Theft Auto installation is missing one or more files. 
Please reinstall GTA and see if MTA works then. 
Press any key to continue . . . 
  

So I tried to do a COMPLETE installation (not the minimal, the one that requires the DVD inserted to play) and now IT WORKS. I don't understand why it wasn't working, I had always the DVD in the DVD drive...

Thanks, toxicsmoke11, I didn't think about MTADiag. Have a good day
