You should probably reinstall GFWL http://www.rockstargames.com/support/IV/PC/GFWLupdate/

Okay I reinstalled the game and patched it but sadly nothiung changed.
Neither Max Payne 3 nor Future Soldier work.
Might it be helpful to clear my whole drive to solve the problem, in my case D:/ ?

[monster875.]

wait, u have trouble with other games too? well, u should probably try search for ur problem on google. cuz this is pretty weird.

[longrange]

I already checked on google. Nothing there but discussions about GTA IV...
My problem is that I can play GTA IV without any problems but some other games stop working due to this failure message and that´s what´s freaking me out.
Cause those are games which have no connection to GTA IV.
I mean why would Need for Speed Underground 2 show this message ??
Or Ghost Recon Future Soldier ??
I don´t get it...

[monster875.]

well, if it's other games that has trouble, why do u then post here? u say IV works for u, but other games don't. maybe u should rather post in the Gaming Chat forum or something

[longrange]

I posted it here because this GTA IV failure message always shows up...
Well okay, I´ll keep on searching
Anyway thanks for ur time...

Re-Install those games which have problem. Re-installation is the first step in Troubleshooting. Also, Patch 4 isn't that complicated as Patch 7 so I suggest you to apply it (Re-install GTA 4 and apply the patch or else you would apply it with your patched games and things will get even worse. )

[monster875.]

Dr.John: he already re-installed the game, so no need

[longrange]

I already re-installed all games but that didn´t help at all...
I also put patch 4 on it but nothing changed

Look for dsound.dll and filecheckfix.asi in the system32 folder, that is

CODE

c:\windows\system32

[monster875.]

Mkey: Dsound.dll is a part of the system, so i don't really understand why he should search for it in that folder :S

... didn't know that. But if that message is popping out in other games, it may be entirely possible the mod is installed "globally".

[monster875.]

Mkey: the dsound.dll u download for IV, is just a kinda of "shortcut" to the one in the system32 folder.

anyway, u might have to search through ur computer to see if there's something related to filecheckfix.

[mkey82]

You still need to have the loaded, maybe he replaced system dsound.dll with the modified one?

[monster875.]

maybe, but then there's the big problem, how can he have filecheckfix errors if he don't even have filecheckfix?

[mkey82]

If he replaced dsound.dll and extracted filecheckfix.asi in the systems32 folder, that may cause problems.

[monster875.]

thing is, he said he searched for it without luck, so something's pretty f*cked up.

Now I deleted nearly every gam I had and now it works ... .
Anyway thanks for all your replies
