I have the same problem since I installed the patch, can't run the game.

Press "Play" and the black box just vanishes.

Have the same problem. I'm reinstalling now. Well, for the past half our or so (only one in so many installations doesn't crash with an i/o error near the end).

 

This was after installing the patch - beforehand everything was fine and dandy.

hey guys,

 

i have got the same problem. I have original version of GTA IV, and the game does NOT start. Just black DOS box appears for a second, and then....nothing. No error, no message, nothing... confused.gif

My system specs:

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2,4GHz

4Gb RAM (DDR2, 800MHz)

GeForce 9600GT GS 1Gb

 

Windows XP(32bit), SP3

.NET Framework 3.5

latest Nvidia drivers 180.84

 

I really dont know what to do with it....i would appreciate all help comments wink.gif

 

 

-----------------------

 

I feel like an a**hole. My only hope for solving this problem was the PATCH. After installing it, nothing happens again. Nothing, nothing, nothing.... suicidal.gif

 

I tried to:

 

1)reinstall the game 3x

2)reinstall drivers 3x

3)reinstall .NET Framework 2x

 

 

I did not do just one thing -> throw my PC out of the window. I am pretty mad now. This was the last game I bought from R* angry.gif

 

Support is not responding. What should I do?

In my case, even the DOS screen doesn't appear. sad.gif I should never have installed the patch! Is it possible for me to salvage my saves now? I think I'll have to reinstall...

i had this problem but i think it was because i installed mods and patches and ran windows 7. So what i did was, go into the main directory, right click Launch Gta and run as administrator.

 

That worked for me. Obv, dont ask me questions as i am very new to this and waiting to build a pc so i can run this game properly myself!

 

Good luck,

 

Will

I installed gta 4 from steam and downloaded it all ncie and dandy, but when i click play, it launches the login thing with the email and pass word, so i put it in perfectly and it takes it, but then the window closes and doesnt pop up again. Can somone tell me why? (6GB Ram on my new pc) ._.
