Right after I press Start/Enter, it brings up the menu with the R* Social Club pop-up, and I press start on that menu/main menu, it goes to the character slideshow with the music playing, then 2-4 seconds later, the music suddenly stops, and the slideshow keeps looping and never loads. Has anyone else encountered this problem? It's annoying me. I'm on my 4^th fresh install and it still doesn't work. I installed a couple of skins/mods, some weapon skins, ELS, Indicators, IV DashCam V2, etc. and it worked (I didn't install LCPD:FR, but just tried out the previously stated mods). I have the 1.0.7.0 patch. I have only dsound.dll in there, and the .asi loader. (.Net ASI loader, also). I tried re-installing LCPD:FR, but it still doesn't work. No errors come up upon install.

I have had that problem and you have to reinstall the game

I twice had this problem.It turned out that:

• It was the new version of EPM mod
  
• It was GTA:IV's launcher.exe in my EFLC directory
  

The game sometimes get confused if you change/add something "weird" in the directory.Dunno whats it in your case.

I tried re-installing plenty of times. It still doesn't work.

Yeah, GTA IV has been terrible in the case of modding so far. Some things have gone good, and some haven't.

I still just need help...

You tried reinstalling? Still doesn't work? I recommend you delete each and every file related to IV on your computer.Just save you savegame,if you want to,but it is recommended that you get rid of every single trace of IV from your HDD first which includes deleting directory folder to windows registry.Then,uninstall it fresh.Its a 99.99% possibility that it would start working,again.

Alright I'll try doing that.

Just one question. How do I un-install it from the registry..?

By uninstalling it properly and not just deleting it.

And by running Registry cleaner softwares like CCleaner :)

Alright, thanks for the help. I'll see if that works.

or by using the built in program "regedit" in windows,

Although be VERY careful when tampering with registry files, deleting the wrong key could render your PC useless

Thanks guys. I found my CCleaner (Business) disc lying around. I uninstalled GTA IV, ran CCleaner, re-installed GTA IV, installed LCPD:FR and it worked! Thanks a lot for the help.

Not a problem. Enjoy the mod

Closing.

Nothing to see here!
