If anyone could help me i'd greatly appreciate it. I have followed many tutorials on how to install it and I followed them exactly but all i ever get is the lights freeze on and i can never get the menu for ELS to show up, but I can enable/disable express mode. I don't have any trainers installed so that's not the problem.Whenever I press control+M it always calls an ambulance because I have LCPDFR installed. I also have vdH police helper installed.

Have you read through all the ELS pdfs that comes with ELS 7? 

Yes I followed the PDF's and everything is installed correctly I just cant get the lights to come on

Have you installed ELS enabled vehicles? Also, are you using the latest patch? Running the game as administrator?

I have two ELS vehicles and I am using the latest patch but I haven't run as administrator. Is it required?

Always run as administrator to prevent crashes. What's your computer specs btw? 

Open ELS.ini, under [CONTROLS] section find FunctionKey = 17 and ComboKey = 18 then change FunctionKey number to 18 and ComboKey number to 17. That will switch the CTRL and ALT keys, and whenever you want to open the ELS display menu (press ALT+M to open the display menu) ambulance is not going to be dispatched to your location.

 

And make sure that you are running the game with the administrative rights by going to GTA IV/EFLC folder, right click on GTAIV.exe/EFLC.exe, select 'Properties' then 'Compatibility' and enable option 'Run this program as administrator', also do the same exact thing to the LaunchGTAIV/EFLC.exe (if you have Windows 8, then ignore LaunchGTAIV/EFLC.exe part).

None of those things helped. Still the lights are just stuck on.

And you are sure you are not using Simple Native Trainer?

Yes I am 100% sure

Okay. 

Out of curiosity, which key do you press to try toggling the lights? 

Ctrl+M to open the menu and j,k, and L do nothing as well. When I press Ctrl+Backspace it gives me the message saying ELS express mode enabled and ELS express disabled.

Try downloading this. Extract and replace files in your main GTA IV directory (http://www.hazardx.com/details.php?file=83). Also, you do not need the menu open for pressing the buttons.

Still no luck

Can you list the contents of your GTA IV main folder and the scripts folder?

The first fix in my previous reply is not for the lights, it's for the ambulance being dispatched to your location after you press CTRL+M. Read it carefully.

FunctionKey = 18        // Alt by default ***
ComboKey = 17            // Ctrl by default

 

this is the one come from ELS 7

I think no need to change as the combo key is correct

otherwise functionkey = 17 and combokey=18 (Alt) not ctrl

 

i see at my els.ini from lcpdfr (default) after download

FunctionKey = 18        // Alt by default ***

ComboKey = 17            // Ctrl by default

When you press CTRL+M keys to open up the ELS information panel, ambulance is going to be dispatched to your location too. Why? Because the keys to call an ambulance are also CTRL+M.

Open ELS.ini, under [CONTROLS] section find FunctionKey = 17 and ComboKey = 18 then change FunctionKey number to 18 and ComboKey number to 17. That will switch the CTRL and ALT keys, and whenever you want to open the ELS display menu (press ALT+M to open the display menu) ambulance is not going to be dispatched to your location.

 

above message you mentioned swtiched the number between functionskey and combokey

actually when downloaded from lcpdfr.com, it has been set as 17 functionkey and 18 for combokey

ntg to change unless u wanted too.. still u mentioned above in game is ctrl+m not alt+m

Correct.

Correct. Now, the function key is 17 (CTRL) and the combo key is 18 (ALT).

It had to be changed, unless you want to have paramedics to be dispatched to your location every time you open the ELS information panel. After you switch the function and combo keys then it's ALT+M.

You don't understand.
