I bought the game then downloaded it from steam. I downloaded stuff and created accounts for what it told me too. When I was down the game started (after that I had to open steam to play it because it did not give me a link on my desktop). I clicked play for gta Iv than click start. The Character slideshow began and when it did not stop I did task manager and it said not responding (the screen never froze but the slide show just kept going. I had not modified anything yet. I downloaded it again and also let it sit 1/2 hour to an hour, not luck, my specs are for down load as a .png

your specs look fine. since it seems like it might be very simple to fix. the easiest and simplest thing is to try launching GTA IV as administrator. if that doesn't seem to get you anywhere get back to us. we'll go step by step :)

thanks, I found a few things than did them and now it works, also I you saw my specs, I want a new laptop, windows 7 touch most likely but what brand/intel processor should I get, what will do best with gta 4?

 

Hmm well that's a good question. Some of us have been able to adjust the game graphic settings and use our computers we have now honestly.

If ya lower your settings for CPU usage in the game main menu you can run the game fine.

In meantime I'll ask round and see what computer is ideal

thanks
