Hm. In your GTA IV folder, do you have both xlive and dsound?

dsound.dll is there but no xlive

Could you try using the dsound from the LCPDFR directory (unless you already are, then disregard).

sorry, could you direct me me? Or do you mean the LCPDFR Installs ( ASI loaders)?? Please advise

Yes, those files should be in the LCPDFR ASI Loaders folder (not sure if it is named exactly like that).

I copied and pasted those files into the directory and tried to run as admin and still had same issues. attched is a screen shot of the error.

 

 

Sorry, I just really wanan try this mod.

any other suggestions?

 

Yeah... reinstall again. I'm really puzzled as to why this happens really. 

reinstall what? the entire game from start to finish?

 

I'm afraid so.. It will clean the registry from GTA IV and add it fresh again. That's the only option I have atm.

ok i will keep playing around with it.. Please let me know if you have any other idea what to do here

I uninstalled the game from steam, and then reinstalled it. I am still having the same problems... Any idea how to make sure all the game files are totally removed so I can do a fresh install?

 

You will have to remove all files from the steam directory when the steam portion of the uninstall is complete :) 

ok thanks.

ok so I have no clue what has happened now lol. Uninstalled, followed your instruction. I now have another error while trying to load the game after  fresh install... GTA IV worked before I installed any mods or anything. Worked perfect with LCPDFR 0.95 RC2. Now it wont work at all...

 

 

screen shot shows the error as needing a service pack. I updated everything. Running Vista Ultimate.

Set GTAIV and LaunchGTAIV.exe to compability mode for Vista SP1, it should work.

so such SP... see attached

I'd say reinstall again, I am kind of lost why this happens. I still think it may be a anti-virus issue. 

Ok i found a hotfix for it... You have to set the compatibility to windows 2000 and it will run... just a hot fix tho

I will check back when this mod gets fixed and updated

 

That is strange. Good you found a solution.
