Try to open the game with LaunchGTAIV.exe in the the GTA IV map (C:Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe).

 

If that doesn't work, try to reinstall the game.

If you read the error you can figure it out

 

 

"The medium (DVD) from which you are running the setup may be corrupted; contact your software vendor"

I reinstalled the game after cleaning the cd, but it still doesnt run!?

 

the cursor goes busy with the spinning disc than nothing happens? no launch

 

I tried playing from the social club window, but it comes up with a box saying ' the rockstar games social club application is still running...To open the application right-click the icon system tray!? same thing?

 

bought the game off retail store, why won't this launch?! ph34r.gif

If you installed the game by hitting some abourt button along the way, the game will probably not run correctly.

 

The DVD is probably damaged and you should replace it at the store.

blush.gif I cleaned the cd and it installed but it didn't run, until I patched the game... mercie_blink.gif

 

I thought it was patched when I updated social club!?

 

well now after bumping up my graphic settings in the menu, after awhile of playing my computer decides to restart!

 

should i lower my graph settings abit? happy.gif glad it runs though

You should probably get some hardware monitoring tool and watch your temps. When it crashes, what does the BSOD say?
