new game launch fails

[mrjitters 1]

Hi - I'm new to modding. I tried to follow the instructions and downloaded everything that was asked. Initially the game wouldn't launch at all - referenced dsound.dll error. So reinstalled using the other sound option. Now the game initially launched but after going through intro shots, game shuts down "by windows" at point of starting a new game. The diagnostic check gave me all blue checks. Attaching diagnostic file. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It dosent give you an error? Just fails to load the game?

Are you using LaunchGTAIV.exe in your directory as an administrator?

Sounds like D.E.P is protecting your PC.

Data Execution Prevention: I had this issue ages ago on my old laptop, I know theres a way you can allow GTA to run through it but I cannot remember how

Thank you James. I wasn't using the right click start as administrator. It's working now!

As this problem is solved, I'll close the topic. Enjoy the mod!
