Works well in some way. At first I had a messed up screen with lots of letters on screen but fixed that by updating my graphics driver.
The mayor problem is that the game freezes occasionaly, most of the time when going into the menu or going back to the game from the menu. Also Alt-Tab increases the chance of freezing the game. I tried setting the compatibility to Windows XP but that doesn't seem to solve the problem.
I've an Intel Dual Core 3GHz, 2GB Ram and about 256MB of Video Ram.

Alright. I have the second edition of San Andreas, and Windows Vista. Its runs alright, except when it does run, a bunch of random letters and numbers are constantly in the way. The game runs alright, but its practically impossible to actually focus on playing without being annoyed.

i got windows vista....always had the problem of the mouse glitching out like mentioned above (when i had xp) Now that problem seems to be gone,(ugraded to vista and reinstalled) but the game runs really really sluggish. Put all setting to low and i cant even get the first missions done. Sometimes the bike moves like a quarter of a block at a time and just jumps. Horible video quality. Forget tryign to turn. I have no idea whats causing this and rockstar says it my video cards fault since i dont have a dedicated card on my laptop....A lot of bull shit cuz my vid card runs video editng equipment fine, and thats alot more needy then games. Also it ran fine on xp in maxed out settings.

i am using a euro version of the game
with 1.1 euro patched
the game installs and opens up fine
i play it with everthing maxed up (video)
but major issue, right button doesn't seem to be working, character always walking even when you don't touch any key, to the left
and the right button only stops the character or a car, meaning you can't go to right or turn right when you r in a car
interesting problem

still running on "old" Windows XP...
After starting up the game and going through credits, the game literally shuts down and the screen goes back to the desktop. I have a AMD Athlon 1200 mhz with 320 MB RAM but my 3d accelerator has only 32 MB memory.

I'm using the 1.1 patch. It didn't make any difference :/
I'm thinking it might be related to video drivers, since the problem is the screen blanking. Hopefully the problem will just fix itself as ATI improves Vista support...

"I'm using the original edition of San Andreas with the 32-bit Business edition of Vista, a Sapphire x800GL, 2 GB RAM and a 3.0 GHz P4."
If you have the original version, you might want to try updating it to version 1.1 with the patch if you haven't already.

I'm using the original edition of San Andreas with the 32-bit Business edition of Vista, a Sapphire x800GL, 2 GB RAM and a 3.0 GHz P4.
The game starts and plays fine for the most part, however the mouse occasionally stops working and there are random crashes. The mouse is fixable by going into the menu and returning to the game, sometimes needing to be repeated. Unfortunately the game periodically hangs when entering the menu. A workaround is to try to remember how to get back to your safehouse without consulting the map which you need the menu for.
As well, I've gotten a few occasional crashes to desktop while just roaming the first city in the ten hours playing it in Vista. It's extremely problematic because you can only save your game in the one specific spot at the beginning of the game, and you often have to spend a lot of time journeying back to it.

quick tip- san andreas doesn't seem to run with an animated background turned on- so just pause it if you're trying to play the game.

Stupid me- why didn't I think of that? Just reinstall the game and it'll work fine.
The new user directory on mines isn't using my windows login account's directory, but the public one. So just drop files into there and everything should work.

early i gave this a 1* with the comment:
"I have the second edition (version 2.0 --took me awhile to realise ..." blah blah
Well, i tried reinstalling the game to the location someone said the game requires...instead of on my f: drive.
the game works fine..without any kind of compatibility mode :)
Not sure what made the difference as the game didn't actually install where i was told to put it.
But it NOW certainly works from:
C:\user\rockstar games\gta san andreas\GTA San Andreas\
YAYA!

I've been having problems with San Andreas on Vista as well- I can get it to run by setting the compatibility to Windows 98 but because of Vista's "different" Documents folder, the game can't seem to find the user directory. So I can't save and it doesn't pick up my personal mp3's.
I am also running Second version- could it be that the first version has no problems? If so, why would that be?
If San Andreas works on your Vista, please include what version of the game you're using.

I have the second edition (version 2.0 --took me awhile to realise there was a version 2 and trying to patch to 1.1 was useless as per vista recommendation)
The game crashes to desktop when it trys to load the menu.
i have tried all compatibility modes and options...run as admin. I am also using admin account.
Nothing is working. This is about the only game out of 23, so far, that i have had trouble with.
(the other being moh:pa)
