GTA: San Andreas - NoCD Problems

[XPTO]

Not really the same problem, but I've been playing my European edition with the "all languages" version of the no-dvd exe posted on the website, and everytime I enter the game it changes the refresh rate of my monitor from 85 to 60, and when I leave the game it keeps it at 60, and I have to manually change it everytime I leave the game.

Anyone has this problem? Anyway to fix this?

Anyway to fix this?

Maybe installing the newest drivers ???
For ATI it's the Catalyst 5.6 For Nvidia i don't know the exact version of the graphics drivers...

whats up fellas,
i bought the cd and was very happy with the game until my wife got P!$$ed off and scratched it up. ( I have a pic if anyone wants to see) Anyways, the game is installed on my system but it won't run without the cd. so i read thru the whole post and did what you guys suggested. After i replace the original GTA_SA.EXE file with hlm-gtasa.rar and try to run the game all that happens is a small DOS window opens up for about 1 second and than nothing happens. i wrote rockstar games to see if they could help me out but its been over a week and no reply. is there anything i could do or am i SOL.
thanks

down load the trial version of winrar from
http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar342.exe

install winrar.

this will let you open the rar file just as you would a zip file. then just rename the original gta_sa.exe file in the installed folder to gta_sa.exebak. now drag the file out of the rar file and drop it into the installed folder.

no have fun playing.

Hey there, you guys must be getting real bored of whining noobs like me! Sorry.. but I have been having problems with SA (Aint that a suprise) and this is entirely down to the Nocd. Err.. I have the EU version I would guess from the readme languages.. and the fact i brought it in the EU (smart, huh?) But due to some unfortunate circumstances.. I now have a 4 year olds attempt at art on my GTA CD. As you can imagine, the disk does not work anymore, so I have tried the nocd option. Basically.. ive tried about.. 6 different ones, including the all languages one, and they all come up with the standard "GTA SA.exe has encountered an error and must now close" kinda vibe. The program does not even start.. I would be vaugly relieved if i even got a white screen or something. Please, I have these sodding nocd-cracks coming out my ass..

I have no DVD writer, so cant just make a fresh one. Is there some way prehaps i could use the virtual drive on Alcohol?

[QckSilverDragon]

you need an copy of the dvd. even if its just an image of it on ur computer. i havent been able to get the no-cd cracks to work unless you install from ur harddrive instead of the dvd. also the game can recognize if ur useing an imulator(virtual) drive. it wont let you use them. if u can get ahold of the dvd image then just instal from ur harddrive and then use the crack.

hope this helps in some way.

Is your GFX card compatable with the game? Check what chipset your GFX card uses in your laptop then see if the game suports it.

how would the chipset of his gfx card possibly matter when the message he gets is from the protection? (sounds like securom...)
