Yeah you need to downgrade from GTA SA 2.0 to 1.0, download it here http://www.gamefront.com/files/files....0_to_v1.0.rar

No, just no. It will only screw up your menu if nothing else.

The game should work just fine as long as you make sure your GTASA is v1.0 EU or US, doesn't matter which and you have installed SA-MP in the correct folder.

C:/program files/rockstar games/gta san andreas/ Find the sa-mp.exe, or something like that, right click on it and choose options. In one of the menus you'll find it.

The problem is not the version. If you anyway had windows 8, then you would know the bug by running sa-mp on windows 8. The only solution is that i said. Sure you also need to downgrade to v.1.0, but thease problems is due to the OS, not the gta version.

Well if you got 2.0 then you of course need to downgrade it, but this bug have nothing to do with the version of gta san andreas. Anyway 2.0 should always be downgraded if you want to use it for sa-mp, but this is a problem with the OS.
