Can't play GTA: San Andreas

mankvill · 02-24-2008, 04:16 PM

I installed GTA:SA on Vista and then when I try to play it, it tells me to insert the correct CD in the drive, which is where the GTA CD is! What gives?

Does the computer detect the CD at all, or is it just the game not detecting it?

It detects the CD (which is actually a DVD) so it's weird. It says:

"Please remove disc from current CD/DVD drive and insert the original
disc
in another drive ?:."

Is the disc an original or a backup copy?

It's an original. It was bought before the whole "Hot Coffee" thing if that makes any difference.

have you tried reinstalling it yet?also do you have more than one cd/dvd drive?if so be sure its in the drive it was installed from.

I love that game and still do. Best PC, PS2, AND Xbox game EVER. Anyway, to the point: is it minimum install or full install? Also: was it working before? And: if I remember correctly, the Hot Coffee thing was right from the beginning (2005), then they re-released it removing the entire code. Was it the first edition or second edition?
