I think there is no solution for this. Except downloading another software as Fraps or xfire.

Yes but the thing is that when Im using fraps and try to SS it dosn't appear the chat list... If I want to make a forum report or smth like so I have to make a video with fraps..

Fix your screen resolution. I have Windows 8 too and I had the same problem. Was fixed after I changed the resolution.

Depends on your monitor res. Resolution of GTA SA should be the same as that of your monitor.

Do you have any mods installed or things such as S0beit,CLEO etc ?
Try ;
Delete the set file from the User Files folder and make sure that the resolution you want is supported by your monitor. It's always best to match your desktop resolution with your in-game resolution.
Try running the game in Win98 Compatibility mode./ or try every single of them.
Re-install the game ( if you already did do not )
Update the DirectX. ( http://www.microsoft.com )
If you still got any issues let me know,there is alot of ways to fix the crashes, these are some of them.

Same thing happen to me (wish was the main cause i downgrade to Windows 7 again ),however the only solution is not to play as full screen,mean, when you In game press (ALT+Enter ) one time, and try to take ss .

To anyone in the future who has this very same problem, you need to change your game's resolution to your current screen resolution or the screenshot can not be saved.
