Hi there!
Sadly, GTA San Andreas stopped working in Windows 7. The unique legal solution is to update to Windows 10/11.
I am here if you have more questions. :)

Hi there,
I am using windows 7 and I am getting this error message when I try to play GTA:SA
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Users\win\Desktop\GTA san andreas\gta_sa.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
**Please contract the application's support team for more information.**I've been getting this error for about 3-4 days. I've done every solution and I'm waiting for an answer. Even though I refreshed the installations, it's still the same:(
It might be bad because I use translation.

You do not need to speak Spanish. I did everything you said, but I cannot run Windows 10/11 because my computer system is bad. I also tried the latest versions. I have been looking for a solution to relieve my boredom by looking at my gameless computer for the last 5 days. Do you have any other suggestions?

I’m sorry to hear that. Since you’ve already tried reinstalling the game, you can try to:
- Try running the game as an administrator (right-click the .exe file and select "Run as administrator").
- Ensure that your system has the latest version of DirectX and Visual C++ installed.
- You could also try running the game in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows.
If none of these solutions work, it could be helpful to update to Windows 10/11 (one friend had to update it).
Let me know if that helps!
P.S: I can also speak Spanish if you want.
