Hi, when I'm playing GTA and I'm pressing keys, it's getting tiny freezes of screen because of it. If I redefine controls on Nums or on arrows, it's Ok, but it's very uncomfortable to play with them. Also It's getting freezes when I press spacebar, CTRL or ALT. It's very annoying to play GTA like this and my computer is not so bad for playing this game. Do you know, what it is?

Some keyboards cause issues with GTAIV. Is that a wireless keyboard? Do you have another keyboard you can try using?
You can also disable windows even log service, however on Vista/7 it may be a bit more complicated to achieve.

do you have your keyboard latest drivers installed . i recommend joy to key for playing GTA . and as said before for gaming it's better use a non-wireless keyboard

No, I have notebook and I've got latest drivers installed, but any other game in my PC doesn't have this problem.

Open up a run prompt, enter "msconfig", go to services tab, uncheck "windows event log" and reboot. See if that changes anything. Btw this a dirty "fix", just a quick one to see if anything changes.

Wow, It's working, thank you a lot

[mkey82]

OK, but note that the above method of disabling services is really not a proper one. You should undo what you did and then go back to the run prompt and input "services.msc"; now on the list find and change in this order

Windows event collector - should be set to manual, set to disabled
Task Scheduler - set to disabled
Windows event log - set to disabled

However, not only disabling the task scheduler can fudge up a lot of programs on your PC, it can also be disabled for changing its settings. This may and may not prove to be a problem, but just remember what you changed if anything pops up.

Yea, thank you very much again
