I've found a solution that I haven't found on any website.

There is a process called "QPService.exe" that has a conflict with GTA San Andreas. The description of this process in the task manager is "HP Quickplay Resident Program".

I found that by terminating this process and then running the game, it works perfectly.

This process comes after installing HP Quickplay on your system. HP laptops already come with it.

To get San Andreas working, hit CTRL+ALT+DEL then click "Start Task Manager" go to the "Processes" tab and look for "QPService.exe" and end it.

This fixed on my computer:

- The time it took between loading the game and showing the menu on the screen.

- The time it took to show the menu when I paused the game.

- Occasional freezing.

About GTA San Andreas version 1.0 ot 2.0 - no matter, both are not working on Vista 64-bit.

My solution is dual-boot system - Vista64 and XP32 This decides all problems with games.

This Game don't work on my Windows XP so good and I dont know why. When I start playing, the mouse dont work on menus and when I load the savegame, or start new game the mouse dont work always. So i cannot aim at all when I have played a minute. The second problem is: when I'm trying to fix somehow the mouse problem, like pressing ESC and moving my mouse back and forthand then pressing ESC again to return to game it will work only sometimes, when it dont work, i do it again and the game freezes and I have to shut it down pressing CRTR + ALT + DEL. The third problem is: Loading or strating a game, in few minutes the game just freezes. My Computer: Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo H, Windows XP Mediacenter but its Professional too, nVidia GeForce 7600GS, Amd Athlon 64x2.

mine goes good for a while then suddenly crashes and goes back to the desktop,the last time it did this is when the character gets shot and dies and the picture fades out,the pc froze on a black screen and i had to reboot...this is the first game ive played on the pc,all the specs are up to what the game is requiring probably more so. My pc is vista home premium running a nvidia geforce 8400gs 3d video card ,and amd athlon dual core processor.

the game works fine for me but when i grab a bozoka and fire the game slows down a lot the same way if im running around it will slow down or if im driving it slows down a lot but that makes the raceing even easer. from time to time but the major thing that im having is any smoke or shadows are green not the black or gray. the game starts out fine with the colors but after 5 min. the color for smoke and shadow turn green. i wish there was a patch for the windows vista home verison to this game.the edition that i have is second. my system is 1.4 gb ram 260 gb memory and a athlon x2 prosessor with a nvidia graphics card.
