it says Grand Theft Auto SA requires at least DirectX version 9.0

[ccw]

Please download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. If MTADiag doesn't launch, please install Visual C++ 2012 runtimes (download and install vcredist_x86.exe) and try again.

Press 'n' when asked.

Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you.

[Chris!i!]

Well, your GTA directory is a fantastic mess.

Try deleting the d3d9.dll from it.

[Chris!i!]

Still same error.

[ccw]

What happens when you run MTA ?

[ccw]

Have you run a virus scan?

[Chris!i!]

Ok, look i re-installed my gta and look what it says : The instruction at 0x00746929 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program

Yes i have a anti-virus installed with my windows 8 and it run normally.

[Chris!i!]

i used MTADiag for it and this is the link : http://pastebin.mtasa.com/509234177 i think it is but maybe same as the old one well anyway try it.

[Chris!i!]

anyone help me plz

[ccw]

MTA is installed in a strange place (C:\Windows.old\Program Files (x86))

Please reinstall MTA and choose the Default install location option.

Also what anti-virus do you have?

[Dutchman101]

https://www.google.nl/search?q=0x00746929

It can be 1. compatiblity mode, 2. directory/file permissions (as ccw said, re-install on usual directory)

The memory violation 0x00746929 essentially means that the file itself (gta_sa) is accessible but once you run it cannot allocate anything/start up because something basic is missing/misconfigured

For that last example, this can also be caused by ''DirectPlay'' missing from windows,

go to Control panel > Software/programs > and there's something like ''Activate/deactivate (optional) windows features''

Then look for ''Directplay'' under something like ''Legacy software'' and see if directplay is enabled.

[Chris!i!]

Yes i read Legacy software and these i went to see i dont have Legacy Software @ Dutchman101 and i installed MTA from mtasa.com. from here and gta san andreas not workng this is the prob lets leave mta, i want to GTA:SA work to mta work :C

[ccw]

REINSTALL MTA AND CHOOSE THE DEFAULT INSTALL LOCATION OPTION.

and then provide another MTADiag log

[Chris!i!]

Ok

[Chris!i!]

Look, enough i will try to fix it because mta can not be downloaded .-. and this internet slowww i want to fix gta than mta

[Grafu]

anyone help me plz

Try installing GTA into another directory. After doing that, reinstall MTA by selecting default directory when it asks.

[ccw]

If you can't follow my instructions, then I can't help.
