crashes/hangs and i get a blue-screen. i've tried turning off ALL of
the background tasks. i'm so disappointed i could cry. i don't
suppose someone has a God-like qulaity and can tell me what's wrong?

Guess most people have tried.... Do you have on board sound? SPECIFICALLY
Realtek onboard sound? If so, get the latest drivers... hell it worked for
me (although i dumped realtek and let microsoft use its default ones)

it just fixes a data-saving anomaly from the game engine when you
are using an account in XP or 2K with strange characters in it's
name. for instance, if my login name was zutroi!! or similar, then
the game won't be able to save my data to my:
c:\Documents and Settings\zutroi!!\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User
Files\ directory. this patch fixes the path problem, i think. thanks
for the address anyway. maybe someone can use it.
