You need to find a driver what runs well for your 8400. Most drivers will be cra for it. Luck of the draw really. Try random drivers out. It will work with a good driver. Makes the difference of it loading or not I had the 180.84 drivers but gta 4 wouldn't load with them so i am using dfferent drivers now and it works a treat.

 

Also when you get it to run overclck cpu and gpu, it will give you a few frames more maybe and run in performance mode. Use rivatuner to oveclock gpu, but tae it very staedy about 30-40 mhz on core clock and memory clock.

about the drivers i don't know how should i try different drivers?

nVidia website only gives the latest driver i can't get old ones i think

I have not got that problem, but a similar one.

 

It starts loading with the pictures of people and music, and then keeps doing that forever, just a loop of the pictures again and again etc...

 

The music eventually stops but the pictures just keep on rolling.

 

 

When I take my commandline.txt file out of the GTA IV Directory, then it loads, but I need the commandline in it, So Im not sure whats happening... confused.gif

Which commandlines are you using? Create a new commandline.txt file. Turn off v-sync.
