My issues with this have been very strange so far. I originally intended to use the automatic installer as it would probably work on the first go instead of the manual install. However, I was unable to do so because it forced me to install C++ 2010 x64 edition, which I would be totally okay with if it weren't for the fact that I am still running 32-bit (or x86) in Vista hell. So therefore I decided to use the manual installer and it worked without a problem, except for when I tried to start the game. I was then plagued with the issue of "Grand Theft Auto IV has stopped working" because Data Execution Prevention felt like closing it down.

 

So I waited a day, then I spotted on the forums the common issues thread, and there I found out that I could try manually installing the taser which might fix my crashing problem. And funny enough, it did. My game started up normally, and I was even able to use SNT without any problems. However, no matter how many times I bashed ALT + P on my keyboard, it refused to start. "forceduty" didn't work either. 

 

I have attached my logs in the chat. There was no log for Advanced Hook in my game directory.

Can I see a screenshot of your GTA IV folder?

I forgot to add that I get in the top left corner of my game "Error in LCPDFR_Loader.Loader"

 

This is my game folder http://puu.sh/63Q3Y.png
