there is a post in the forums explaining this, but here it is again:

Before recovering any GFWL game save you must copy "Xlive" folder
(C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive) - Windows 7


AND also a specific game save like GTA IV

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames - Windows 7

Now copy these two folders to your new computer. If you deleted them or can't get

installer folder right next to the GTA IV or EFLC file. And,, also there some stuff they intall U DONT NEED for the game like Microsft Visual [Redestibutive] 2005 c++.(KEEP ALL MICROSOFT VISUALS EXCEPT FOR
2005 c++) This could be the thing that would cause lag or low fps. The reason why this installs beacausew when GTA IV and EFLC relased this visual was the one u use to play. But now there are Microsoft

the same problem dude, AND I have gfwl [/quote]
Do you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (At least 32 bit) installed? [/quote]

I installed the thing from the link. Now whenever I try to launch GTA
can install it manually again.
