it was saying i didnt have xlive.dll installed earlier and wouldnt launch so i had to put xlive.dll on there, i deleted xlive now

Run the LCPDFR automatic installer again and make sure you select dsound.dll as the ASI loader. Xlive disables GFWL, you see.

what i did before was run gta, and it said it needed xlive, so i selected dsound and downloaded xlive. let me restart it

I don't think it said you need xlive. You need to use either dsound or xlive. Not both. Since you want to play online, you'd need dsound.
