how to back up save games in gta sa?

hey guys,

san andreas keeps crashing after 10 minutes or so, and im guessing its cos i modded it.

so, i figure il back up the save games and reinstall it so i wont lose any progress.

will this work?

and how do i back up the save games??

thanks in advance

Save games are usually stored in My Documents/Game name. Just move the files out of there to somewhere else to be safe. Uninstalling a game usually leaves them behind. You can also check the install folder for save files if you don't see anything in mydocs.

thanks for replies

its installed on my second hdd, so i go into D, then program files, grand theft auto san andreas, but theres no mention of save games there:(

i found two files, but they are savehouses i think, and are located in the map folder. i have at least 5 save games, so these could not be them.

ok, i think ive found them, in the user files document, there is gallery, user tracks, 1 SET file and 6 gtasasf files. i assume these are the save games?

do i simply copy them somewhere else, then reinstall, remove blank save games and insert these??

thanks for help

Yep, always save the entire folder, than you just paste it on "My Documents", that's why I do everytime I replay SA.

okay, so save the the entire user file folder, reinstall it, then remove the new one, then insert the old one in, yes??

thanks
