Hi reader,
I have been at just at home because I want to play computer games, I decided to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, when I am in the process of starting the game, the game failed to start, instead of starting an error message appeared, I include in this post the screen shot of the error below.
Gta_sa.exe – Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application.
After I read the error, I restarted the computer in hope it will just be fixed by restarting, when windows successfully started, I tried to start the game again, same thing happens, the game won't start, and the same error message appeared, I scan my computer for any virus that might infect the game application, but no virus was found, please help me find a solution to my problem.
Thank you so much.

Error 0xc0000005: Application Error on running GTA SA
That’s an initialization error which can be caused by a fault in the program or compatibility issue. First, check if the game is fully compatible with your computer. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas supports Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 or higher and Windows XP Service Pack 1 or higher.
It requires at least Intel Pentium 1 GHz or faster or equivalent AMD Athlon processor, 256 MB RAM, video card with 64 MB video RAM, sound card, and 4.7 GB free hard drive space. Since you are using Microsoft Windows XP, make sure you are using Service Pack 1 or higher. If not, download and install Microsoft Windows XP SP3.
This is the latest and very last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows XP. Restart your computer after installing the update then try running the game again and see if it works. If it doesn’t, go to Rockstar Games Downloads then click “PATCHES”. Download and install the available patch for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. See if this works.
If the problem continues, reinstall the game and apply the patch.
