When I run the game it shows till the play button and when I click on the play it says contact manufacturer or re install the game and then I got the msg saying that this is not compatible check online. Don't know what to do now.

try to re-install the game or install the latest 1.0.0.7 patch.
or set the compatibility to win xp or win 7 & then relaunch the game.

this is probably GFWL problem, so get XLive-less GTA4-Mods.com - Grand Theft Auto 4 car mods, tools, and more!

Go to program compatiblity options by right clicking on the game icon and run program compatiblity wizard
or
go to properties and set yourself the compatblity for windows 7

do this along with making the program run as administrator

Already done that not working. Since mine is not steam version looks like I should re install the game.
