Hello again. I wanted to play GTA San Andreas (PC) and do some stunts yeah? and I click on the game icon, it does nothing for a while then it says "Grand Theft Auto SA requires atleast DirectX Version 9.0" It had worked fine up until now, so I install Direct X 9.0.......it still doesn't work.

Can somone please help and suggest something which can get the game to work?

You left me wordless...

Which DirectX did you install? Was it the latest 9.0c version?

Go start-run and type "dxdiag". Test all your hardware/software there.

Yeah you should reinstall again and in a DIFFERENT folder than the original one.

Ok, thanks guys. My Vice city works. But SA doesn't. I'll try re-installing it in a different place. Thanks again.

Vice City uses DirectX 8 so my guess would either you installed the wrong direct x or SA is fucked somehow.
