San Andreas not working on windows 8.1 - Fjclip99 - 30.06.2015

So I was searching for the answer for a while now but I couldn't find it...(I hope this is the right topic for this...)
I installed San Andreas today and i could not manage to start it... When i open gta_sa.exe it starts with the intro and that but when it comes to that loading screen in says san andreas has stoped wodking... I have already started it as administrator, tried running it in compatibility mode with every windows... What now?

Try turning 'OFF' your windows defender if you have it enabled.

It might be because of some previous mods you must be having as GTA doesnt overwrite gta3.img file when you reinstall it. So, try to find a fresh gta3.img file replace it with what you're having and try again.
