Error 5: Access is denied.

[Slammer]

Every time I try to run MTA I get this error, I am using administrator user and still get the error.

---------------------------
MTA: San Andreas    (CTRL+C to copy)
---------------------------
Failed to load: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\mta\loader.dll'

Error 5: Access is denied.

Do you want to see some on-line help about this problem ?

When did it stop working?

It's the first time I installed it on this laptop. Downloaded GTA SA then downloaded MTA from the official website. I tried re installing MTA and didn't work.

Several others with the same Error 5: access denied were running AVG anti-virus, just like you.

AVG is probably causing it, whitelist MTA & GTA or disable/uninstall AVG. Inform us of the results, @Slammer
