Help!

Post by Dylan12369 »

Hi guys, I really need h3lp here. This probably isn't the right place to ask, but whatever, I need h3lp.
Whenever I try connecting to a sa:mp server, It gets about half way into the loading screen and then it crashes. Can you guys help me please? Btw, the H3lp isn't actually how I type, it was just the forum replacing it with something else.

Ok, chances are the problem is with something that is running in the backround.

Press alt control delete and look through your task manager processes to see if anything strange is running.

If you look through there and see something you don't think should be there, type that exact process into google and the top link should be to this site...

http://www.processlibrary.com

That site will tell you what it is and if it is dangerous/if you need it to run windows.

If SAMP worked before and now it doesn't, chances are that is the problem.

Just delete your settings file..
My documents/GTA San Andreas User Files/gta_sa.set
If you use compability mode 98/me this userfiles folder is in public documents.

Good luck
