Hey guys I have a  little bit of a problem BIG bit of a problem.

To make it short and sweet my GTA IV will not launch.

Here's what i'm talking about:

I click on the GTA IV launcher and it opens I put in my credentials then click play (play offline doesn't work either), It says Authenticating User then closes, my cursor then turns to the disc which spins (At this time the GTA IV Disc is spinning in my disc tray) but after about 5-15 seconds the disc stop spinning and GTA IV won't launch. No error message or anything.

 

Things to note:

• This is a fresh install of the game so that means no mods, enbs etc.
• I am running the 1.0.7.0 update.
• This is a legit store bought copy of GTA IV.
• I HAVE run GTA IV on this PC before.
• I've tried numerous times to launch and have had no luck.
• I've tried multiple times to re-install the game with again, no luck.

Anyway thanks for helping (In advance) and if I need to put anything else in this topic just tell me below / :) 

Hope we can fix this!

Your CD not scratched,clean condition? Tried run as administrator?

I had this problem and all you need to do is download XLiveLess, and drag it into your main directory.
