Well, after seeing the photos of GTA IV with the ENB Series Mod in the GTA Photos thread I decided I wanted to try it so I went on the website downloaded what I needed, put the files where they needed to be, launched the game and nothing changed. So then I patched GTA IV to 1.0.4.0, tried starting the game, and it wouldn't launch. Undetered by this I decided to re-install GTA IV, which I did, then I patched it to 1.0.4.0, downloaded the ENB Series stuff again, started the game and "Hurray!" it worked. Then I decided I wanted to download some cars for it so I did that, installed them using SparkIV, started the game and "Hurray! It still works and I have five awesomesauce VWs and three BMWs to rag around in!".
Then I had to go to Tesco so thinking all would be well and work when I returned, I shut the game and the computer down. Got back, started up the computer, started up GTA IV fully expecting it to work. Launch the game, black screen comes up with the stupid Windows 7 spinning circle loading thing which it usually does, then it disappeared like it usually does but the copyright stuff didn't and the black screen went and I was back on the desktop with no error messages to tell me I'm an idiot.
Therefore I give up. I'm not that GTA mad any more.
