mravikt Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've been running GTA IV on Windows 7 Build 7000 successfully for over a week. A lot faster, and more stable than I'd ever experienced on XP or even Vista before. Now the problem isn't really with the game itself, but with SecuRom Launcher. As soon as I try to launch, I get an error message, "SecuRom Launcher has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution.". I have a retail copy, no cracks. I used xLiveWrapper, but after that it was still running well, So I don't think that'd be the source of the problem. Anybody experienced something similar? Please help, if you can! Thanks a lot, MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojario Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 mind posting how you got it running in win7, having trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mravikt Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 mind posting how you got it running in win7, having trouble Sure thing, man! So 1st, installation: Install RGSC normally, it doesn't prompt for any OS version problems. Then explore GTA IV DVD, and find Setup.exe in the GTA IV folder. Right-click, then set compatibility mode to XP SP2. It will set up normally. 2nd, Running the game: Install patch 1.0.1.0. retail (GTA 4 1.0.1.0. Patch from GTAInside.com), not from Live, then find LaunchGTAIV.exe in the root folder. Right-click, then set comp. mode to Windows 2000. This way it won't bug you for XP SP3, or Vista SP1, just starts up normally. Good Luck! Please report back! Thx, MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mravikt Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Seems I could get it working again. Even though it's original, I have to use a SecuROM bypasser... I can't help it. Not my fault, that it stopped working.. Only strange thing is, that it went wrong suddently. Before yesterday evening, it worked fine. I installed nothing before the happening..maybe the aliens did something, while I was in the kitchen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD T Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 OFC it is ur fault...u should install/run the game on supported OS. Oh do f*ck off. To OP, You don't need to run securom if you don't want to look around on google, you still require the original disc an everything just a securom bypass, which in turn keeps baby Jeebus happy too.

stefikov95 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I have the same problem even though I have the original GTA IV disc. After some time of playing, it was about 2 weeks, it has stopped working. I tried to run the game several times, and it started. But now, I can not open the game at all. I think that that is some problem with Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
