Okay so just so you guys know I'm not the smartest person when it comes to computer stuff. 

Soo.. here is the story, my friend and I were playing lcpdfr multiplayer in a private match we installed the same scripts same cars and mods etc, (everything but the same enb).

And we kept crashing (I know this happens often for lcpdfr online). And in my advanced hook it said it was related to C:/Windows/SYSTEM32/d3d9.dll a faulting module. 

I looked it up and saw that reinstalling something in the installlers folder would fix it. So I went to the Gtaiv main directory but clicked on the installers folder instead of gtaiv. I clicked on vcredist_x86. 

The install worked but when I went to gta iv and play for about 1 min. It booted me to the desktop with the game still running. As if I had alt+tabbed out of it so i went back in after it did it about 6 more times. And went to the command menu by pressing ~. It was saying that "direct3d device lost" and the "direct3d device found". and the timestamps were when i had been booted to the desktop.

 

does anybody know any fixes or anything that i can reinstall without having to reinstall gta iv.

Moving to GTA IV Support Requests.

direct3d device found/lost is not a issue with the game that would cause errors.
Try reinstalling DirectX.
