You probably need to run Xpadder as admin, because of Windows UAC. If you lately switched from WindowsXP to a newer one, then this is the reason for that difference.

Don't use the compatibility mode.
And just to make sure, you have completely closed Xpadder before running it as admin?

If you made sure that Xpadder isn't running when starting it as admin, then you don't need and you shouldn't restart Windows.

If you have started Xpadder as admin via the context menu or by holding CTRL while clicking the .exe and restart your PC, then Xpadder will start again normally (provided you have "start with windows enabled").
If you have "run in administrator mode" in the compatibility tab, Xpadder won't start automatically as Windows seems not to want to shows the UAC Prompt directly after bootup.

Only via the TaskScheduler, Xpadder will start automatically with Windows with administrator privileges even without showing a UAC-Prompt.

I have installed GTAIV: Episodes from Liberty City and activated UAC. Xpadder works for me without any problems in the game, even if Xpadder isn't running with administrator privileges.

Are you sure that the profile is loaded. Maybe a AutoProfile entry that isn't working as intended?

Edit: GTAIV (non Steam version, EFLC is a Steam version) self also works without any problems
