I got it to work, thanks for your help guys.

tried to run as admin after changing the read only thing and got the same error message. @synapt: yeah i thought about trying it out before installing the mod but i was so ready to play lcpdfr, i wonder if i un-install the mod will just the regular game work?

Ok. Tried the first thing you said and ran it as administrator. Gave me this message...Error: SecuLauncher: Failed to start application. [2000]. Tried your edit and it WAS read only. I changed it and it automatically changed attributes for all folders and now i am going to give it a shot. Thanks for your quick response btw.

Ok, I'll start from the beginning. After watching hours of the youtube videos I wanted to play for myself. I messed around on here and ended up downloading the 0.91 version before even buying the game. I went out and bought the game, came home and installed it and immediatly, re-downloaded the 0.91 without even trying GTA IV. I went through the installation process and it said it was successful. But when I went to actually play gta it opened a black box (almost like a run: box) and said that there was a problem and windows would close it. After trying countless times I did some research and downloaded the newest patch (1.0.7 or whatever lol) hoping that would work. Hoping I solved the problem I tried to open the game, and when i do it promps me to sign into the SocialClub (even though i just un-installed it during the patch process) and click Play, my icon turns into a spinning disk, my computer makes the noise like it's loading the disk....but nothing happens. huggghhh After trying and trying I do a little more research and decide to download Windows Live for Games after reading that it worked for someone else, but NOW when i try to open the game it does the SocialClub stuff and when i click play it gives me this dang message...Exception EFCreateErrorin module DSOUND.dll at 000116C5. Cannot create file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV \asilog.txt". Access is denied. And now i am stuck. I have tried to run the diagnostics but it gets halfway through it and brings up that thing again where it say Windows has to close it due to a problem or whatever. So I'm hoping someone can help me. Thanks for any help
