Hi there, 

When I opened GTA IV for the first time with LCPDFR, the game opened smoothly, as well as the mod. The next day, I opened it, and it crashed with an error related to "Access Denied". I opened  the game as an administrator, the game worked; but not LCPDFR. I had two ASI loaders; I deleted "dsound.dll" and I kept Sripthook. I opened the game, it worked, but once again LCPDFR did not worked. Then, I opened the diagnostics tool. Everything was fine exept for the "Log Check". The tool itself couldn't access the file, so I copied it to the clipboard. The log that I copied to the clipboard is in the attached files. Can someone discover a solution?

And why would you delete dsound?  That is the loader for the scripthook. 

And why would you delete dsound?  That is the loader for the scripthook. 

​I tought that if I would delete dsound the mod would work again.

No no. Dsound and Xlive are the loaders,  you can use one. You need 1 loader and 1 scripthook.
