Cannot find video mode - Catsfan84 - 26.08.2012

When I go to open my gta sa it opens with an error that says Cannot find 800x600x32 video mode. I havent started the game yet so i dont have a .set and all of my drivers are up to date. Does anyone know fix for this?

Are you trying to run it on a netbook?

Try this
Code:
Right click on gta_sa.exe.
Choose compability option.
Choose open in 640 X ..... Resolution.
Click apply.
Try starting the game.
Hope this helps you.

@Silent, I'm running on a desktop.

@Lordz, I've already tried that with no luck

It's likely your monitor doesn't support such low resolutions.
The fix should be simple enough, just use command lines on your gtasa shortcut to set a -width and -height that you know your monitor DOES support
-width 1024 -height 760 for example

How to do this? please explain in detail

It might be, your video drivers?
My friend used to get that same error on cod 4, it was his video card drivers weren't supported for the game .

He means like, when you play gta sa, change your screen resolution. Like Width could be 1024 and Height could be 760.

Anyway, Make your own topic for the same problem i guess.

Hello .

If someone is still suffering from this problem , Here's a simple but effective fix !

Firstly , on the desktop , Right click and choose "Graphic Properties" (There will be an Intel icon near it) So click on Graphic properties that has Intel icon near it .

Next , Click on "Display" tab . Click on "Custom Resolutions" .

There will be a warning . Just continue by pressing "Yes" .

Under "Add" tab , Enter the following .

In width box : 800
In height box : 600

That's all you need to do . Just click "Add" button located in the bottom right corner and add it . Close the graphic properties .

Open GTA Sanandreas and Enjoy . Thank me later

(Note , you can change the resolution in > Settings > Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings > Resolution)
