mkey82 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 If you tried reinstalling VC++ libraries that come with the game I don't know what else can you do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustl Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 !!!!!!!!!!Success, you probably have previously uninstalled Visual C++ 2005, thanks rampage13! I recently uninstalled Visual C++ 2005 and then attempted to run the Grand Theft Auto IV game, except was given the SecuLauncher: Failed to start application error (2000), so then I installed Visual C++ 2005 SP1 from this website: Visual C++ 2005, installed it and now the game runs!!!! Simply install Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable from that link. Hello. I know that this is old but i have the same problem. I was playing game and on one mision the game froze. So I had to reset my computer,...this happend about 4 times. But than when I wanted to play the game this error comes out: SecuLancher [2000] 0x00000001 So I removed ALL VISUAL CC files (eaven the updates) but there is still the same ERROR. But I have noticed that file "Microsoft games for windows - LIVE Redistrubutable". Should I delet it too? Pls help cous I want to play this game,....THX!

mkey82 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yes, remove all VCC libraries, then install the ones you gave on the game disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustl Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 but I did that. All visual c++ in Add/remove programs. But as I told there is also "Microsoft games for windows - LIVE Redistrubutable" file - delete this too? And do you know how to save the savegames that I would reinstal game? Couse when I reinstaled the GTA IV and saved only Rockstar GTA IV savegames I can't use them anymore couse I would need old Games 4 Windows savegames,.... that's what they told me at RockstarGames.

mkey82 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Did you install VC++ libraries from the game disk? I'm not sure what you're doing with savegames there, but xliveless will probably make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_91 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 hi i am new at this forum.i had the same problem.but i solve it.when u tried to install windows 7 cus of dx11 i dont remove my previous xp i install the new window 7 on another drive.i got this problem.it is beacuse the visual c++ no installing on my pc so i had to cancel the installation and that is the problem.i went format the two drives include xp & 7, i do clean install of 7 on system drive.then i install the game there is no error while instaling visual c++ and finish the installation.and the game start.this maybe not work for you but works for me well after i remove xp and just keep windows 7 on my pc. sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm afraid you are one of those Securom victims and you will probably have to use a third party loader to get the game running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustl Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 can you please tell me more about this third party loader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeBean Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Yay!!! I works for me now. You need to download SecuROM™ Diagnostics Tool. https://support.securom.com/analysis.php P.S.

gmac16 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi, I have been having problems with GTA IV for PC lately. I bought it through steam and it installed fine but will not start up. At first it said that I needed vista sp 1 for it to work, but I turned compatibility off for both steam and gta iv and that error went away. However, every time I try to start the game I get the social club pop up and try to play offline but the game won't load. It brings up a black screen but then a window comes up saying the game has stopped and windows is trying to find a solution. This is very frustrating as I have been looking for an answer for three days now. Here are my specs: nvidia geforce 9600m gs 1 gb 4 gb ram Intel core 2 duo 2.26 ghz p8400 Direct x 11 -updated nvidia driver to newest one released in May -updated GTA IV to 1.7 patch -updated C++ to 2010 distribution (whatever that is) -installed games for windows live -have tried almost every compatibility mode for steam and gta iv I have done all of these and the only progress is that it just says it has stopped working after trying to run instead of giving me the rmn20 error. Although it is new that it gives me a black screen before ending. Before it wouldn't even pull up anything before stopping. I have done all of these things, but that doesn't mean I did it correctly or that I didn't do it in the wrong order, so any help would be great. Hopefully some here have had the same problems. Thanks. One other thing is that when I tried to use the compatibility wizard that windows 7 provides and then start the program using the wizard, the securom... error comes up.

mkey82 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Do you have the option to get a more detailed report when the game crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxdmg Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Hi! I work on Windows 7 64 bit. I have found solution which solves the problem. I have uninstalled all C++ runtimes, installed runtime given with the game and downloaded patch from site: removed The zip file contains also crack, which should be copied to installation directory. Now game works perfectly! Edited August 20, 2011 by Seddo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a long a*s code that will appear, delete it then press F3, it will then search the same and give you the same. 8. Keep on deleting till there is NOTHING left of grand theft auto, it will take some time but be patient To fastend things up just repeat the F3 button and delete and then enter, in that order. 9. Install the game again and it WILL play, !!!!!!!!!!gaurenteed!!!!!!!!! Dont install patches and car mode and crap bacuase people make bugs and then you should stuggle to fix it.

bruffino Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hey all, Ok rockstar officially sucks with customer support however I managed to keep a tech on the phone long enough to tell me what the hell the issue with gta iv is... apparently if you have windows 7, gta iv is not ment for it... its only ment to operate on vista and xp, however there is a fix that im currently trying now so im not sure if it works.. but the tech said if i download the patch that they have on there website for the game which i think is number 7 (the guy i spoke to had a very heavy indian accent, not being mean but it was hard to understand) and then download the visual c++ 2005 and 2008 verisons, it should work. He also said that once you get the game running on the system you should have no issues, however all the error messages are because of the operating system of the computer. So everyone thats having a hard time with error messages and crap prob all have windows 7. Sorry for my spelling and crap I'm running outta my apartment but just wanted to share this information with everyone and anyone. If you guys come across other help forums with people having this issue please relay this information to them as well. Everyone desirves a chance to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillpadda Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've tried all the options above, none of them seem to work. When I install visual c++ 2005, i get msvcr100d.dll missing, and when I upgrade to 2010 I get the launch 2000 error. I run GTA IV on patch 1.0.7.0. (cracked) with some mods installed. Help would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Get rid of the crack and of the mods. That's the only solution we can give you. Cracked versions obviously can't be fixed with usual fixes. Hell, I don't even think cracked games can be fixed at all. Just go buy the game and you won't have any trouble. Mods may also have a huge impact upon the game itself, so get rid of them too. Are you only using cracks or do you also have the game pirated? Dead (Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
