game_sa.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like game_sa.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like onenoteim.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) could share the same game_sa.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when game_sa.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common game_sa.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - game_sa.dll.
- game_sa.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.3\MTA\game_sa.dll.
- Cannot register game_sa.dll.
- Cannot start Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A required component is missing: game_sa.dll. Please install Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas again.
- Failed to load game_sa.dll.
- The application has failed to start because game_sa.dll was not found.
- The file game_sa.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because game_sa.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your game_sa.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, game_sa.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, system crash while loading game_sa.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
