Will updating my game version erase my controller settings?

I have the original PC version of GTA:SA.  No cheats, no patches, no
updates, and no mods.  Except for slowness and jerky video I never had
a problem on my old PC.
I upgraded my PC recently.  It is now an Intel 6700 cpu, 2GB memory,

Motherf*#(er, I can't do these two. Silver on Burn and Lap, but Bronze on
City Slick'n. Got pure gold in flying and bike, and even did vigilante in
the Hunter, but goddamned if I can get gold on these bitches.

Is there a way to avoid stars? I keep getting to about level five and the
police stop me from finishing. Usually, the suspects spawn close to where I
just bumped off their predecessors, so all the local bribes are used up, and
I don't have time to go further afield and then come ...

 What the heck are the pickups shown near the end of this video?  I've not
seen anything like this in *MY* SA...

I still haven't finished San Andreas. I bought it for the PS2 when it came
out, but couldn't get far with the gamepad. This is because my first and
only other GTA game was Vice City for the PC. I beat the crap out of that

I did the Bloodring, Chiliad Challenge, Hippy Shopper and caught up on the
firing range, so I'm pretty much caught up... except for this piece of sh.t 
mission. How the hell do you get the coronas that are so far off the ground?

You have to sneak up and break a window and hotwire the car... people
finally got smart enough to lock their doors? I hope they changed more than
this, because this will make the game much harder.

New trailer hoorah! Why hasn't this been posted yet?

I'm aware of the many documented links between GTA and Manhunt but have never seen this mentioned before - or maybe my ears need syringing :-)

The GTA games are not only ultra-violent, but they also
teach children about a life of crime. Children, I'm
especially talking about male teens, who are quite
lazy and not too good at school anyway, will

i cant beat the domestabot missioni wish i could just skip that mission then

12th freakin' try I *finally* managed to snag the car, which was at about
3/4th health, despite the wind which was strong enough to make going
northeast next to impossible (had just reached where it turns east and then
south onto Ocean Drive).  I had a *LOT* of trouble getting ...
