Reply To: L.A. Noire not starting up
Running it in compatibility mode makes the game not even respond at all.
The game should be working with W7, at least that’s what the box says.
With these kind of issues it makes me understand why people prefer downloads against original retail versions.
Retail customers are treated like animals!
I always buy games just for the convinience to save all the trouble with installing. But I think I must add Rockstar to my blacklist together with EA games. GTA IV took me a week to find out how to make it work before I was finally able to play it.
Damn 
??:
Yeah EA Ripped me off big time, and they give you rubbish excuses, after months and months of problems with them I got a free game lol
Try this:
1. Right click the shortcut
2. Click the’Compatibility’ tab
3. Tick ‘Run in 640×480 screen resolution
(It could be that it’s detecting your monitor as bigger than it is, which won’t work at all)
Then if it works, set it to the correct resolution
