GTA IV Problem

[MishaPilsudski]

GTA IV just came in the mail today, and when I went to install it, I got a CRC Error message when it was trying to copy a certain file.

So, I aborted, and tried installing it again, same thing on a different file.

I tried installing it like 20 times now trying all kinds of different things but nothing will work.

There is a minor scratch on the disk but I don't think it is the problem because once it went through the whole first CD without an error, but there was an error when I changed disks.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, will GTA IV run on windows 7?

Also, I tried using compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.

Here is a screenshot of an example of the error I keep getting :

GTA IV had some problems with my PC, telling me it was incompatible with &P.I have Windows 7, so the major problem was to get the setup running, because it always gave out that error.Try running the setup in compatibility mode, for Vista SP2.

Hmmmm, my computer is deffinately able to run the game, but no matter what I put the graphics settings at, it lags...

What is the problem?

Is there a way to fix?

[MishaPilsudski]

If I run it on lowest settings it doesn't lagg as much, and if I try to install a mod, the game doesn't start up.

Is this because of update 1.0.7?

[MishaPilsudski]

Changed my resolution settings in-game, it stopped the lagging.

I think I fixed the mod problem.
