Problems with launching GTA IV

[amandapanda325i 0]

I have tried EVERYTHING to get GTA IV to run correctly, and have watched the pinned tuts on how to install and troubleshoot, but they dont seem to help. When i run GTA IV.exe it stops working the second i get in-game. Then i run LaunchGTAIV.exe, and it does the SAME thing. Then i run LaunchGTAIV.exe as admin and Compatability mode for Windows XP Service pack 3 [My OS in Win 7]. Does the same thing as the last 2 tries. I have ELS, simple native trainer, and an HD Car pack installed and im wondering if any of those has do something about my prob. However, i always used xlive.dll as my ASI loader. Then when it failed me for LCPDFR, i decided to go for dsound.dll. That didnt work because when i launched both EXE's for the game in compatablility mode and ran as admin, it either crashed on start or when i start a new game it just stays loading. If anyone can help me i would be glad. Thank you!

I didnt even mension i was trying to get LCPDFR to run. Its not the game. Its when i installed LCPDFR.

Are you sure Simple Native Trainer and LCPDFR are conflicting? They work fine together for me.

Alright, heres whats happening. I use XLIVELESS and DSOUND.dll and run as admin. I play a game, do some LCPDFR arrests and traffic stops, and i go off duty and save the game. I go back on th game, try to load my last save, but it doesnt load; or it takes a long time. Any help?

You use them both together?

That's a no no, you are only meant to use one or the other (preferably dsound)

Oh, well thats my prob with loading probably. Ill see if thats it.

Well, its not the prob with loading. It still doesnt load. Its either stuck on "Starting a new game" or "The cousins Bellic" -_- and i cant PLAY. Its really annoying. HELP

Infinite load? You need to remove one of the two then it will load normally.

I removed Xlive, and it does this.

Delete your gamesave it's probably corrupt. Also never save your game whilst on duty. thats what causes corrupt gamesaves.
