Direct X graphics settings perhaps?
Any other programs running in the background?

have a look on the GTA SA website or google for it but they usually release patches that fix common problems that people have..
how much HDD space you have left? sometimes theres not enough and the computer has a fit and just closes off stuff because theres no space for swap files

GTA:SA will not run on a laptop, as it requires a dedicated 3D Graphics card to run. Most laptops do not include such a card (they use "pretend-3d" cards that actually use system memory)
So unless you can upgrade your laptop to one with a proper 3d card like an NVIDIA or ATI you aren't going to have much luck |
