Oh, also, San Andreas Multiplayer won't work for the Steam or Direct2Drive versions of the game. If you have doubts about the differences between versions, then remember that you can always uninstall and reinstall San Andreas from the disc for your default version - but again, you won't be able to play San Andreas Multiplayer. San Andreas Multiplayer will only run with San Andreas version 1.00 installed - if you have version 2.00 installed (I had version 2.00 after buying the game from a store, and I'm in England), then you can use this (safe) application to downgrade your copy of San Andreas to version 1.00 - if you don't downgrade and try to run SA:MP on a non-version 1.00 copy, you will get two blank white screens upon loading the game, and then it will crash. If you have a recent or patched copy of San Andreas, then it is more than likely that you have a version of San Andreas higher than version 1.00.
If you live outside of America or Europe and you bought the game from a retail store, it is more than likely that you will not be able to run San Andreas Multiplayer. Also note that San Andreas multiplayer requires an American or European version of San Andreas.
This means that the program will not run alone - you need to have Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas already installed and working on your PC in order to run San Andreas Multiplayer.
