I have C++ 2005 installed , too.



Please somebody help me ...i really want to play this game....

Sorry I cannot figure out how to help you.
even hard to help you if you did not complete your hardware specs.

I am just posting to report you GTA4 x86 is working fine on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (tried only single mode) - I am using patch 1.0.0.2- no need for compat mode or any particular setup. check if your video drivers are updated.


good luck. cheers
