Is it my shitty sight or you have installed san andreas on desktop?

Hey this is true, I haden't realized it. The game seems to be installed in the desktop folder of the admin account instead of in the Program Files folder, and that's why only the admin user can run the game, as it's the only user that can access to that folder.

*Ding!* seems like an explanation for your problems, sky.
OH NOES master of the obvious has spoken again, sry.

maybe try install the game in programs folder (on 64bit OS in the x86-folder) and open it up for all users.

I've meant who the fuck installs anything on the desktop, but yeah, Gryphus may be right :P

Okay guys same problem again i thought i could avoid this by creating a new computer account and re downloading but it came again. Every time i click connect a i get this same green circle loading thing but the game DOES NOT load at all. I keep clicking it, nothing happens. I'm fucken pissed now because i don't know if its my shit OS or something but i want to be able to access this game without going through all these issues
Since 2008

Seems like BUYING the game wouldnt help either! :P

Have you tried ramming your pc with a 3 wheeled car?
lolol nah.. think ur windows got messed up. Pretty old GTA thingy, had those issues many times aka when nothing but new copy of windows XP(or 7) fixed the problem. Thats like ur last chance or something? idk.

GL! x)

Do the following:
Uninstall everything that ever belongs to GTA SA, the Rockstar Games folder, the User files, erthing.
Then reinstall it, from the ground up,
install it in the x86-folder (if you have 64bit),
start in compatibility mode for Win XP sp2, save the mode,
limit it to one core (if you're processor has more then one core).

If that doesn't work something with your OS might be fucked.

have you tried deleting  "gta_sa.set"  found in   C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files   ?
