Hi, I use windows 8 and i recently re installed my windows and after that i installed my GTA IV and when ever I start my GTA IV and i try going to GFWL, i press "Home" i even tried tried clicking on "Live". I tried deleting xlive.dll and i tried using xliveive. It still won't work.

 

@ineseri i am looking forward for your help!

XLIVE.dll will disable GFWL.

1. Make sure you have the latest patch.

2. Make sure xliveless is removed completely.

alright, i will try that, do i keep the xlive_d.dll ?

ineseri, can you fix it for me using team viewer? i won't foget you for my life!

No, you remove xlive completely. 

No, I do not help via teamviewer. This is a very simple task :)

what time you on teamspeak?

How is that relevant to you deleting xlive? 

I'm on whenever I feel like it :)

Alright "dude", please post a screenshot of your GTA IV directory.

Install this (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5549) and this (http://support.rockstargames.com/entries/484496-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch-7-Title-Update-v-1-0-7-0-English-1-0-6-1-Russian-1-0-5-2-Japanese-).

You do not have dsound.dll in your game directory btw. 

did not work man.

Post another screenshot of your directory. Also, make sure no xlive remains.

And is xlive.dll and all its dependencies removed? 

i re installed the game, after you told me to remove liveless completely, so yea i think, i didnt touch it after that.

Can you please check if it is removed? "Think" won't cut it. 

if re installing removes the thing yea

No, it does not. You have to do it manually. 

alright, it is removed completly and still wont work

Then I am not sure what could be wrong. Make sure you're clicking the right key and that GFWL is updated.
