Playing samp with Windows Vista
1) Install San Andreas as usual.
2) After installation, navigate to the folder you installed SA:MP (default: c:\program files\rockstar games\gta san andreas\)
3) Right click on gtasa.exe and go to "Properties".
4) Click the "Compatibility" tab, change the compatibility option to "Windows 98 / Me", click OK.
5) Download and install SA:MP as normal.
6) Install the browser fix for SA:MP (click here, directions are in that thread)
7) Play!

If you see only VINEWOOD sign
You can't play San Andreas Multiplayer if you have installed one of these two version. Get you an original 1.0 gta_sa.exe to play online.
Or get download a so called downgrader to get your gta_sa.exe to version 1.0.

If it says 'Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxxx' ... and nothing happens!
This can happen, if the server is already offline. Just test another server. Also verify that you allowed gta_sa.exe and samp.exe through your firewalls.

I click on connect and nothing happens!
Be sure you have no d3d9.dll in your Gta San Andreas folder

If normal game loads! No SA-MP is there?
Be sure you start sa-mp.exe. If you did this, reinstall SA-MP and select your GTA-Directory as INSTALL-Folder, everything else will not work. Sa-mp.exe must be located where gta_sa.exe is after installation.
