I FINALY GOT MY COPPY OF " GTA IV" TO LOAD ON MY NEW PC AND MIGHT I ADD THIS IS A GAMEING PC.

Sorry about the caps..

 

I have reinstalled the game 3 times with the 1070 patch and created a Rock star account and windows live account

 

and when I try to launch the game I get nowhere my curser looks like it is a cd spinning then it stops and game does not start.

 

I realy want to get this game to work.

If it may help I run WINDOWS 7.

Thank you all in advance for any help.

Have you installed this GFWL update? Do you have daemon tools or something of the likes installed? Also make sure to install the vc++ libraries from the redistributables folder found on the game disk.

Please post the REQUIRED information from the Pinned Troubleshooting topic, as posted by Justin(A Moderator):

What is your Processor?

What is the Processor Speed?

What is the Ram?

What is the Video card?

What is the vram?

How much dedicated vram?

What is the Sound card?

What is the OS?

Do you have the latest SP for the OS-ie. SP3 for XP, SP2 for Vista, and SP1 for 7?

Any mods or trainers?

Any Daemon tools or the like installed on PC?-these can cause problems with games.

 

Is this the Retail(DVD) version OR a Downloaded version?

If Downloaded, from where?

If Retail, Is this the Original DVD OR a Copy of the DVD OR a No-DVD crack?

 

This will help people fix the problem...Please read and utilize the Pinned topics in the future..Thanks

 

To find the above, Go to Start, Run(if XP)/Search(if Vista or 7) and type in DXDIAG and press Enter. The first page is the Processor, Ram, OS info., then click the Display tab=Video card info, then Sound=Sound card info. etc.

GFWL update I did this update it helped me to get into the game.

could not exit the game so I had to do a hard shutdown.

 

make sure to install the vc++ libraries from the redistributables folder found on the game disk.

 

Do I Double click on this vcredist_x86.exe file to do a set up on that??

 

thanks in advance..

Yes, just install the vcrerdist installer. Instead of a hard shutdown, you should have pressed ctr+alt+del to start the task manager, then end the gtaiv process there. If gfwl will not work for you properly, you'll have to use xliveless.
