I purchased this game from online shop > GTA IV & Episodes From Liberty City.

 

Installed only the GTA IV and Social Club and after installing, it went though activation via Manual Activation, because the GTA IV "Release date check" stops at 30%, so i had to click on "Active manually" button and everything went well.....but when press play from social club, again it asks for "Release date check", am stuck here.

 

Can anyone help on this issue?

 

My System Configuration:

 

Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5700 3.00 GHz

4.00 GB DDR 3 RAM

32-bit operating system

Windows 7 Ultimate

What is the Video card? What is the Total VRAM? How Much VRAM is Dedicated? Is this the Retail(DVD) version OR a Downloaded version? If Downloaded, from where? If Retail, Is this the Original DVD being used OR A No-DVD crack? Any Mods/trainers used? Any Daemon tools or the like installed on PC?-These can cause problems with games..

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series (1024 MB)

 

Total VRAM:

Total Available Graphics Memory: 2431 MB

Dedicated Video Memory: 1024 MB

System Video Memory: 0 MB

Shared System Memory: 1407 MB

 

It is not a downloaded version, i brought this Game DVD from online shopping website.

 

This is a Original DVD - I got serial key for GTA IV and also for Episodes.

 

No Mods/trainers used.

 

Yes, i have installed DAEMON Tools Pro on this PC, but this was like an year ago, others games are working fine till now, but only this game am not able to make it play.

Re-Install GTA IV then :

 

Download the latest patch from :

Then download the latest Games For Windows Live from :

Re-Install was done before i posted the problem here.

 

Patch, Games for Windows Live are already updated and installed.

 

.Net Framework is updated now.

 

The problem is before the game starts i get this "Release Date Check" screen....it shows the progress bar, but stops at 30% and i get next screen with button options, 3 of them, "Activate manually", "Retry" and "Cancel".........nothing happens when i click Activate manually. This is were am stuck
