  The file name for a save game for save slot 1 ends in a 1, for 2 ends in a 2,
etc.

  To view your savegames you may need to "view hidden files and folders."

  How to unhide folders
  http://www.wikihow.com/Unhide-Folders-in-Windows-7


  Your savegame folders are in these locations:

  Windows XP:
  "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive"
  "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games"

  Windows Vista and Windows 7:
  "C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xlive"
  "C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV"


  If you use Wrapper or Xliveless, you can't play in an official multiplayer
game.  You must use an offline Games for Windows Live account to play downloaded
savegames.

  Method 1: XLive Wrapper

  Download xLive Wrapper and put xlive.dll into the GTA IV main folder.

  Download a savegame file.  Put the savegame file into:

  GTA IV, TLAD and TBOGT:

  Windows XP:
  C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar
Games\GTA IV\savegames

  Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames

  In case of crashes, copy CopyXLiveResources.exe into the GTA IV main folder.
Launch it, replace files if asked, and try to launch the game.

  If you have problems, ask at GTA Forums.

  Method 2: XLiveLess

  Download xLiveLess.

  If you have an Asi Loader, remove it.  Xliveless is an asi loader, too.

  Copy xlive.dll and Paste it in the main folder of GTA IV.


  If you don't use Wrapper or Xliveless:

  Download a savegame file.  Put the savegame file into:

  GTA IV:

  Windows XP:
  YOUR NAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\

  Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  YOUR NAME\My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\

  The Lost and Damned:

  Windows XP:
  YOUR NAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\TLAD\savegames\

  Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  YOUR NAME\My Documents\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games\TLAD\savegames

  The Ballad of Gay Tony:

  Windows XP:
  YOUR NAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\TBoGT\savegames\

  Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  YOUR NAME\My Documents\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games\TBoGT\savegames


  Launch the game with Run as Administrator from LaunchGTAIV.exe.

  To debug, Copy the xlive_d.dll file, Paste it into the main folder of GTA IV,
and Rename it xlive.dll. 

  To uninstall, remove xlive.dll and restore your original savegame files in
the original documents folder.

  If you have problems, ask at GTA Forums.
