Shortbus Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Heres some of what the people said. "You need to install the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable. " "I had the same problem so i emailed securom, they sent a reply saying that the error means that the gta4 exec has been changed in some way. So i did a reinstall and same prob but noticed i had the shield symbol on the gta icon (run this program as administrator) dont know why that was ticked under compatability via properties. Unticked and finally worked." "Install all the exe's and the one msi file that is in your first DvD (DvDDRIVE:\GTAIV\Redistributable\*.exe) This SHOULD get rid of that issue." "It is in your DvD. Right click -> open. to access the dvd instead of autorun. The address is given above. I hope you know what letter is ur dvd drive in." Hope this was helpful..

Shortbus Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Right click on the GTA icon, go to properties, click the "compatibility" tab, see if there is anything checked that says "run this program as administrator", and uncheck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It's possible you just got a faulty copy, I don't know. I've got faulty stuff from Steam which wouldn't install and had to re-purchase the game. Maybe a crack would be in order, if the game [that you purchased] isn't letting you play...the game.

Huckleberry Pie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 why i should check it because im already the admin of me PC .. second i don't have vista i have XP and if i should find it,,, i didn't find that kind of option and witch exe...... and if we cant make this working i can download securom launcher crack .. Cracking things won't do anything good from a legal standpoint. However, if the launcher is keeping you from playing it, and you really own the game, then you might give it a try. But remember that because it isn't supported, you might be unable to play on Multiplayer mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
