GTA: San Andreas - NoCD Problems

[QckSilverDragon]

ok this is my first time here but i read thru this thread trying to figure out my problem.

i have solved it. i found out that if u install the game from the dvd then try and crack it it wont work.

this is wut i did to fix it.

copy dvd onto the hard drive. (example D:\GTA SA\)

install from drive to location u like

rename gta sa.exe to gta sa.exebak(so u dont lose original)

extract cracked gta sa.exe into installed folder

and there u go. worked for me.
