Edit:
For those of you looking for quick answer for a similar problem - I'm afraid you wont find it here. The issue seems to have 'dissipated' almost as randomly as it had began giving me fits.

Original Post:
---------------------------------------------------
Short, sweet and directly to the point (Sorta):

I do have mods installed, however I have not installed any immediately before I began experiencing the issues listed below. Just recently as of a couple days ago, I began to randomly experience issues involving the SA-MP game client, whereas when selecting to join a said server, I will get the blue/green loading mouse icon (as expected) for about 2 seconds before it disappears, opening gta_sa.exe for only a split second (according to the task manager) before closing without further action (nor appearance/notification), however on the rare occasion it wont close and an SA-MP error message will appear 20 seconds after the 'launch' supposedly was to take place - Nothing immediate as opposed to what you might generally expect.

For the reader who didn't comprehend: It crashes upon start-up and it doesn't provide any errors or anything but on the rare occasion. You don't even notice gta_sa.exe had started for that split moment it appears in the task manager before disappearing. Below I have attached the error turnout results.

Misc. side information:
Recently, and I figure it was around back when this all started, I began having graphical errors leading to my graphics driver crashing and having to recover, however I am quite able to still play other games, including GTA:IV and the such - I only seem to encounter this error while playing Minecraft after a brief pause it seems, so perhaps it could be irrelevant, but for the sake of possible coincidence.

System Information:
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit, Home premium - Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD A6-3650 APU (2.60 GHz, quad core)
GFX: RADEON HD, 2.60 GHz (built into the processor)
Ram: 16 GB


What I've done (Not in order):
* Re-installed San Andreas to a clean, legit installation.
* Set and ran both sa-mp.exe and gta_sa.exe to run with administrator privileges.
* Set both of the previously mentioned .exe's to run in windows XP, SP3 compatibility mode.
* Re-named the general San Andreas directory and re-appointed the SA-MP browser.
* Deleted the gta_sa.set file found within '*\Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\' as suggested by many threads.
* Searched both on ****** and using the forum search feature for anything associated to the error message provided.
* Checked to ensure my computer was plugged in properly and turned on.
* Restarted my computer only countless times.
* Set Visual Settings to 'Windows Basic', as suggested.
* (un/re)-installed graphics driver.

This is the error message I'm getting on the rare occasion as explained above.

Side note: No, I have not edited, changed, or moved anything previously immediately following this recent issue.

Does Single Player work?

If this does: Single Player supports different screen resolutions than MultiPlayer (Idk how it works, but it is like that). Set it in Single Player to 800x600 (works everywhere) and open MultiPlayer (should work). Then adjust a new resolution.

If it doesn't work - never heard about any bug like this.

By the way, doing the above will have the same effects as deleting 'gta_sa.set' (which is not listed)

Well documented thread btw

I made a reference to it, but since I had already removed it, I didn't have anything to reference for the description. That was one of the first thing's I had done, thanks to previous experience.

Anyways, I edited it to it's appropriate name. Thanks for bringing that up.

To answer your question: No, single-player doesn't seem to work, although before I had began to mess with certain settings in an attempt to get it to work, it seemed to have worked then.. or at the least I was able to get to the menu that I recall.

Then my guess would be it has nothing to do with GTA. Do you play any other games/do they work normally?

Otherwise, re-install or update your graphics driver.

Just got back from re-installing my graphics driver, but unfortunately to no avail. I've also set the majority of the settings back to their previous state (Where I suspect they had been originally), but still no luck on the single player bit.

[Hawkseye]

Alright, so for as weird as it was for it to appear - It now seems to function properly without any reasonable explanation. I'm still somewhat puzzled, but whatever works I suppose!

Thanks for the help [MM]IKKE - It's thoroughly appreciated.
