@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

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
In refresh rate box : 60

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)
