GTA IV Parental Control Error Message,Win XP SP 2

[awesomesoccerfan]

I am using win xp service pack 2,when i try to start gta iv it says 'the application you are attempting to launch failed to start.This could be the result of it being blocked by windows parental controls/Family safety.Please make sure you have access to the application before trying to launch it or contact support at http://www.rockstargames.com/support'.What do i do to play the game?and my pc meets all the system requirements needed to play the game. I am the only one who knows about parental controls in my house

Update to SP3 and try again.

I have updated sp2 to sp3 but the same error.What do i do next?

 

[awesomesoccerfan]

I don't have any parental controls in my pc but why does it shows the parental control error?

 

[saint19]

The parental control isn't from the OS, is from the game.

 

[awesomesoccerfan]

Then how do i change it?many people are having the same problem.

i was also having the same problem.But i solved it.(create a new rockstar games social club id and in your date of birth set the year as 1985 or older.).this is the only solution.
