Can you take a screenshot? A lot of programs, games especially, are not yet compatible with windows 8....

i was also facing the same problem.
problem is solved now( 100% working)

1. go to c:\windows\system32
2. make sure you have xlive.dll (if not download it)
3. rename it to xlivestart.dll
4. now run game
it may show " xlive.dll" not found
5. Now install xlive (you should have in GTA IV redist or Redistributables, if not download it)
6. Make sure c:\windows\system32 contain both xlivestart.dll and xlive.dll

RUN game and enjoy
