GTA IV with build 7048 x64
I kept having probs installing until I ran it for compatibility for XP and I had to install the Windows Live thing too, kept saying I was missing that file. - works great though!!

strange..... I've had no troubles with either installing or running the game at all without any messing on or compatibility mode on patch 1.3, must be twitchy setups or drivers prehaps?

No its a retail dvd, pointless pirating it really as the online game is mint, not to mention my local Morrisons sell it for £9.99

Old Topic, Same problems
Hi,
I realize this is an old topic but I'm rather frustrated, and all the loops you have to jump through just to play this game is so annoying I nearly took it back.
Anyway, I get it installed just fine (win7 x86) but when I attempt to run, even with most compat modes ... it gets to the point where it reads the cd, passes that and then ... nothing. Rinse/repeat even after updates and even after attempting to use nocds .. same result. I really don't think I should have to go through this much hell to play a game I payed for. Is it going to take going back to XP to get this to work or am I missing something obvious. .. or?

Well, I had that problem also, and it took me a reinstall of windows 7 and updating the drivers and installing directx 9.0c before i connect to the internet or install games to get it to work. I have a topic opened on this forum for the right way to install it. http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-games/25651-problems-games-windows-7-works-most-time.html I would try this first before you go back to xp, it seems that GTA IV and other games run a lot smoother with win 7, at least with the 64 bit version.
