    GTA 4 crashes on startup


    Hi! I am new here, actually my first post.

    I am having a problem with my game which i just bought. Whenever i start my game i log in thorough social club, i easily get logged in but then when the game starts my screen goes black and then after 5 secs i get a error that Grand Theft Auto has stopped working windows is collecting information.
    I have tried every thing, i searched every post, i even contacted rockstar games about the problem but they didnt reply!
    I tried the following things:
    1. running the game the compatibility mode (windows vista and windows xp)
    2. ran the setup in compatibility mode (windows vista and windows xp)
    3. installed games for windows client.
    4. updated the game.
    5. tried all the things after updating the games.
    6. re installed the game more than 10 times.
    7. re installed vcredist and other microsoft's softwares.
    8. dissabled firewall.

    I have a original game and have complete edition of the game which includes both the GTA 4 and EFLC.
    Please help me to run this game.

    windows 7 ultimate 64bit
    4 gb ram

    GTA 4 Minimum System Requirements
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz or equivalent AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz
    Memory/RAM: 1GB for XP and 1.5GB for Vista
    Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 or 256MB ATI X1900
    Hard Disk Space: 16GB free
    Operating System: Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1

    Basically what you need minimally to run the game.

    Is this running on a laptop or on a desktop? If it's a laptop, I doubt it'd run very well, even with those specs.

    This is a common privilige error for this game, follow these steps and then test.

    Go to the source file (where the .exe is)
    Right click
    Properties
    Compatibility
    Run the program as an administrator

    Oh and congrats on pooping your seven forums cherry hehe awright
