A while back ago, my GTA would take ages to load up only for a black screen to appear. This was random and I do not know what caused it. I did not have any change in script mods or content mods.

Today, I finally decided to reinstall GTA and I was able to get through the copyright and Rockstar logos but my start up screen did not load. Just again, a black screen. I also noticed both times that Social Club could not make a connection if that helps.

Social club never works, and it might be because your IV reg entry is curropt, i had the same problem, i finaly reset my pc to factor defaults, try deleting the reg entry, and see if that works, but back up your reg first.

Sorry i couldent help

Have you tried installing LCPDFR? I know it contains some additional files that could help in case you did not delete everything from GTA:IV.
