Forum:Infinite loading screen (character pictures) in all GTA IV era games

Hi,

Last week I bought GTA IV The Complete Edition on DVD (for PC). I have got a new PC that greatly satisfies to the system requirements.

I installed both games and followed all instructions. I also downloaded and installed the latest patch of GTA IV, as well of EFLC.

But when I start any of the games (GTA IV or TLAD or TBoGT), I won't come any further than the loading screen with the character pictures and the intro music. The music plays out all the way to the end and the character slideshow repeats infinitely. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del and sign out from Windows to end this.

Because of this problem I wasn't able to play any of these games even once. I searched out many forums about GTA IV, but I didn't found a solution anywhere.

I've tried a lot already, but nothing helps me out. Does anyone please know how to solve this obstinate problem?

Thanks in advance!


 * Try to re-install the game. Also, let me check you specs. Could you give me a list?gtav_v_48x48.jpg Dodo8  Talk
