Says im using a trainer when i try to connect

[Wes4real]

i know this has been asked before, but i tried everything.

i have a legit game that i purchased from walmart 2 years ago. I played mtavc on my old pc, and when i got this new one, whenever i try to connect it says "connection failed: suspected trainer usage". I downloaded the patch to make my .exe version 1.1, didnt help. I close everything when i try to play, even xfire, msn, aim, and my chat firewall. I tried everything you guys have said in the known issues thread... but i still get the error.. any one know whats wrong?

Reinstall VC, so you have a clean install and try again.

It's better to remove it all, and begin with a fresh install of GTA I think..
