Hello too all dispite it been my bday today 35 ha I cannot get GTA 4 working. I've always wanted too play it on PC over the 360. I have a 2 disc version installed the first was told too log into the GTA social network witch I did I have an account. Then was told my internet connection was down witch it wasn't at all. Then was redirected too there web page witch I was asked too make a new password witch I did and still nothing. It's not even asked for the 2nd disc yet. So I've been here before and got nowhere. System amd fx 6300 at 4.3ghz 24gb of ddr3 1900mhz o.c 6tb sata3 hdd and Asus matrix hd7970 3gb

Hi

GTA social network - just skip that.
If you are running on a Windows 8/10 machine, perhaps the following will do the tricks:

GTA IV Does Work With Windows 8 and 8.1

To get it to work:

Go to the cd and GTAIV folder and right click setup and click properties.

Click compatibility tab and run in compatibility mode with vista service pack 2. 3. Go through the installation as you would normally.
.When done you must download a patch from http://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145406-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch-7-Title-Update-v-1-0-7-0-English-1-0-6-1-Russian-1-0-5-2-Japanese- 5.When done with that, download windows for live client

When down with that your ready to start the game and it will ask for the cd product code. enter and it should work.

If not try this, go to program files or program files x86 if runnin a 64bit operating system.
find and click Rockstar Games, then grand theft auto folder.
then right click gtaiv and run in compatibility mode with vista service pack 2.

If you had windows 8 and updated to windows 8.1 a game reinstallation may be required for it to work.
Also driver updates may be required too.
Check with your pc manufacture for drivers.
