Automatic installation of GTA 4 on windows 7, my mistake is 'incompatible system '.

GTA 4 car is supposed to be compatible with Windows 7.  I get the error "your system is not compatible.

My system: Windows 7 Home premium, model # HPE - 150ff, Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz 2.80 GHz (RAM) 8.00 GB, NVIDIA GeForce GT 230, 64-bit operating system.

So is there something I can do to make it work?

Hi want want to be.

By searching on the site of Grand Theft Auto 4 I found that no information regarding its compatibility with Windows 7.

I suggest that you try to install the game using the compatibility mode on the file setup.exe on the game and try to install the game and check.

To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

1. open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

If you still cannot install the game and then for extra support after your query in the forum of the game using the link below:

I hope this helps!

  • My device audio stop working after the installation of update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198)

    Hi, since Windows Update automatically installed this patch my audio device stop working. It does not appear in Device Manager. I've restored the system to a previous point and works now. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows, but I really appreciate if Microsoft Support could check this because at some point, I will need to continue the update of Windows (because of several security mistakes!).

    Thank you!

    I restore my system to an earlier point and did not work! After several hours of searching for a solution in the web I realized that (fortunately!) I had a copy of the registration precedent and do a comparison, I noticed that some missing case book lines:

    In

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_02 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0002\

    The 'Control' key with a string value 'ActiveService "=' Modem' was absent.

    Also in

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0001

    I added a 'Control' button with a string value "ActiveService" is"ksthunk".

    Finally, I restart my system and Windows again recognizes my camera and the driver installed!

    Of course this solution depends on the machine you have. I have a HP Pavilion dv2000 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221.

    I hope this helps someone!

  • Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

    My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  • recently impossible to implement the automatic installation of updates for Windows 7

    * Back in July 2015, I was able to get updates for my computer which uses Windows 7 Home Premium.

    * In July 2015, in the center of the Action, that's what he said:

    Windows Update                                                                                            On

    Windows automatically installs updates as soon as they are available.

    * Today, January 15, 2016, I thought that I would see if there was the necessary updates as I had not seen any activity since July. In the center of maintenance that the formulation has changed, it is said now
    Currently unguarded Windows Update
              Enable messages on Windows Update
    * When I click 'Activate messages on Windows Update', a box appears at the top:
    Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator.
                 Turn off the messages on Windows Update
    * When I click on turn off messages on Windows Update. the box at the top goes.
    * I tried all afternoon know where to go to find the place where the system administrator (that's me) disabled the update of Windows, so I can enable / turn on.  NOTE: I don't know until it on computers knowingly do something like that.  I removed some Trojan virus in the past.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to get "Windows install updates as soon as they become available" again?   Thanks for your help :)

  • RT2870 automatic installation service has reported an invalid current state 0.

    This is my first posting, so be gentle with me

    I discovered that each Windows session seems to result in a record of the event (Event ID 7016) with the description Viewer:

    RT2870 automatic installation service has reported an invalid current state 0.

    I understand that maybe it's something to do with my broadband connection or USB wireless adapter Tenda I should use, but as a non-techie, I'm not really sure.   And I do not know what is the function auto-install RT2870 function is supposed to have to pay.

    Can someone explain how I can deal with the error, please

    Thanks TwoPointOh.

    As the error messages appear do not indicate a problem serious or critical, I'll follow your suggestions at your leisure.

  • Blue Screen installation updates (KB2419640) & (KB2478935) for Windows Vista

    I get the blue screen when I install the above, and this update was 12/01/2011 and continues to reappear after I restore the system to January 9. So I turned off auto updates but isn't this bad since I DON'T want to prevent remote control?  What can I do to fix these two updates. No blue screen before these updates, but as soon as I say yes to reboot on blue screen. What is a L1T (level a techie) to do. I need this computer until I get a job!

    Thanks to the intervention of Halima S... I'm ready to tackle this problem without restoring the system. My only concern is that this command deletes previous restore dates and that the option is permanently deleted. However, first I have to print the steps to follow for a clean boot and re-read. I will work from there... Still down thanks!

    Hi Apple2DellExperience,

    1. are you able to install some other updates on the computer?

    2. what was the message on blue screen?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    It is not recommended to disable the automatic update.

    These updates will be revived again after the system restore.

    I suggest that you manually download and install the update, check if it works.

    Also, make sure you disable all the third-party program installed on the computer during the update installation process.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    original title; Problem installation of update KB2556532 on Windows Vista 32 bit

    I had problems for the last two months trying to install the update to windows KB2556532. I have Windows Vista 32 bit.

    I had a virus that has been cleaned of my laptop. It was windows recovery of fraud, and I don't know if this could have caused the problem at first, but after you have cleaned the virus always impossible to install this update.

    She always says that it has installed ok, but then when the computer has restarted, it is located in 'Configuring Updates step 3 of 3..' he said then that the update was not installed correctly and is back from changes.  Once the computer has booted I am prompted to install the update again.  It continues in this loop.

    Can anyone help me please with this.  I can't online solutions for this problem, I looked for a few weeks to try and fix myself.

    Unfortunately if this utility installs not it is not that there is something corrupt or prevent Windows to install correctly.

    tan7655,
    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.

    original title: windows 7 gamer edition

    Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

    Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

    You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.
