Have you ran the game as an admin?

Also, get the diag tool from here: http://twoninersix.multigamemods.com/G17%20Media%20IV%20Diagnostics.zip

Hi,

please ckeck Windows Update. There are some updates for framework and c++ redistributable.

Yes, run as an admin. (right cklick on the GTAIVLaunch.exe and choose "run as an admin...")

Where did you say it stopped after 4 things were checked?

Yeah try Windows Update.

can anybody link me on a descent windows 7 update? T_T im a bit frustrated from this i dont feel like lookin for files anymore...

Go to Windows Update and Check for Updates in Control Panel on Windows 7. You can then download the .NET Framework and C++ Redistributable updates.

alright ill try to install the updates, and see waht happens from there on...

Also keep running the tool! It'll eventually work.

installed windows updates, reinstalled LCPDFR, reinstalled the other 2, the tool still aint working, the update for GTA doesnt install still... this is useless :/ thx anyways guys

the tool worked, said everything is fine, but obviously it still isnt working...

damn

lest check the list

you installed gta 4

then you patched to 1.0.7.0

then you downloaded and run the LCPDFR self installer (u checked Net Scripthook,C++Scripthook,DSOUND ASILOADER) xlive stays unchecked

than you install it

was that the way you did it? well it worked 4 me

ohmg i follwoed ur steps, it worked, thx a lot... but 2 more questions now...

For cop car skins, i need to downlaod them myself?

and my windows life profile wont log in for some reason, so i have to start the game all over everytime i go in GTA, any advice?

nvm got live fixed, still need an answer on the car model question :/

Yes, you have do download anything extra yourself. That includes but is not limited to cars, skins, player models & outfits, weapons, lighting systems, etc.

1. You're welcome friend :D

2. Spark: http://gtaivtools.googlecode.com/files/SparkIV%200.6.8.zip

Thats the one you need xD

haha thx :D

one last question lol, to install the ELS do i need to use spark? cus i tried to do it without spark and it just messed up my game.... or it might be the car skins.. idk

just place the els.ini and the els.asi in your scripts folder (in the GTA 4 root directory)
