TImbercottage Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I've recently upgraded my PC to the following spec: Intel i7 930 Nvidia GTX 460 6GB XMS3 RAM ASUS P6X58D-E Whenever I try and install GTAIV on my PC it says "Your system is incompatible with Grand Theft Auto IV. Please follow the link below for more information." 1) How is my system incompatible? 2) There is no link to follow so how am I supposed to get more information? I've updated all of the drivers so everything is up to date. I really can't see any reason what is stoping this from working. Is there a way around this? I'm also running Windows 7, 64bit which worked perfectly before I installed the new hardware. By the way, I bought this digitally from Direct 2 Drive if that changes anything.

mkey82 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Put XP SP3 compatibility mode on the setup.exe. Also try Windows 2000 mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Why you not buy INTEL Desktop bord? This is your biggest mistake. From where you buy GTA IV? Is you buy GTA IV from internet? I want advice you that to buy original disc of games in feature. It is safe and leggal. GTA IV for PC's original disc avalavle in aproximately all countries. In INDIA rate of original GTA EFLC is RS 650/- only. Which is very less than internet. If any one have problem about GTA ERROR MESSAGE then try this link to view a software about it. Edited August 13, 2010 by Raju Grewal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
