MTA:SA fix

MTA says it is incompatible with software on your PC

MTA names a short list of programs it does not work with. Remove them, or add exceptions in them for GTA and MTA.

Steps

Try one step, then check whether the problem is still there. Follow any "only if" line before changing a setting.

1. Check for the two named programs

   Only if one of those programs is installed.

   MTA's page lists Evolve and GAS Tecnologia G-Buster Browser Defense. If either is installed, remove it or add exceptions in it for GTA and MTA.

2. Close overlays and tuning tools

   Only if one of those programs is running.

   MTA's troubleshooting guide also says to close Evolve, RivaTuner and MSI Afterburner before starting MTA.

3. Start MTA again

   Run MTA again. The guide suggests restarting the computer if the message stays.
