I've seen 3d analyze mentioned but I wasn't sure if this counted as mod or not. How would I run in windowed without a mod? Currently only have one monitor so I would need windowed to manage splits, chat etc

Ah okay thanks for clarifying!

Sorry to interrupt, but is there a way to play gta san andreas windowed without d3d9.dll? Thanks in advance.

I tried using 3d analyzer, but my game flashes and lags. DxWnd doesn't work for me without d3d9.dll. Are there any other opinions?

Yes. When I use DxWnd without d3d9.dll, it gives me an error. I want to play the game windowed without d3d9.dll, because it slows my game too much if I use it. So far, still no solution :(

I think there is no option to play dxwnd w/out d3d9.dll

If I use DxWnd without d3d9.dll, game crashed as soon as you see "Nvidia, the way it's meant to be played". I'm not saying I'd only want to play with DxWnd - anything, but without d3d9.dll. Aren't there any files or programs to download, maybe change gta sa compatibility properties that would result in windowed mode?

@Kamiks0320 i use Dxwnd without the dll and it works fine

Yes, as soon as I skip the intro videos, it crashes. But how can you play with DxWnd and without d3d9.dll? Also, wouldn't it lag to play the game with Intel HD? I have Nvidia 960m, 8Gb RAM, intel core i7-4700Hq 2.2GHz and 64GB SSD, windows 7.
