Hi, Check in your bios that the DVD is recognised, if not then do an auto detect of hard drive and answer "Y" to all the save and exit. if this doe's not cure the problem then using ME log on to the manufacturers web site and click on downloads, locate the exact system you have on the site, then download the drivers including the driver for the DVD rom. When you have this load the XP cd and fire up. Good luck mistyman

Can windows 7 run GTA IV.

Hi,
Running GTA 4 on windows 7 should not be a problem. You just have to run the installer using compatibility mode. Right click on the "setup.exe" then choose Properties. Go to Compatibility tab and tick "run this program in compatibility mode for", choose windows xp sp 3. That should allow you to install GTA 4 on windows 7. Bear in mind that you have to install GfW Live and the C++ 2005 files seperately which can be found in the disk as well. More importantly, make sure that your computer meets the system requirements for the game.
Here it is: System Requirements
Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz Memory: 1.5GB, 16GB Free Hard Drive Space Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900
Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista) 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870
After installing the game and you're not able to run it, Try running the main executable file of the game in compatibility mode as well.

Hope this helps.

What is the installing code of Microsoft windows Xp service pack -2?

If you have a "valid" (not a "bootleg") copy of Windows XP, then there is *NO* "code" required to install XP Service Pack 2.

However, as of this month, Microsoft no longer supports XP Service Pack 2 -- you need to download/install XP Service Pack 3, in order to be supported.

You may need to check to see which "service pack" you are currently on.

See below requirements:

Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Edition

Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
- With Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3
Not Supported:
- Windows Vista 64-bit (any version)
- Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
- Windows XP Media Center Edition
- Windows 98, Me, 2000, NT, 95, 3.1, DOS
Not Tested:

- Although Windows Vista Home and Home Premium Edition have not been tested or qualified by Digidesign, there are currently no known issues with Vista Home and Home Premium 32-bit operating systems and Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 compared to the supported Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Edition operating systems.

Windows Vista SP1
There are currently no known issues with Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista based on our initial limited testing and customer feedback. Although full qualification with all Digidesign products has not been completed, we do not recommend against updating to SP1, given the number of important overall system fixes in SP1. We do recommend that you backup your system and create a restore point before updating to SP1, should you encounter any problems after installing the update.

From what you're saying I get that you want to install Windows XP with Service Pack 3 on your computer. Are you wanting to replace Vista, or do you want a dual boot system? Do you have a Vista CD as well if you want a dual boot system? Did you receive any other disc's with the computer that may have a driver set on it?
