What's the differene between the first trainer for the version 1.7 and 1.7 GFWL?

GFWL is Games For Windows Live, I believe.

If your game isn't running through Games for Windows Live, you don't need that trainer. However, if it is, then you'll need that trainer.

It's an important difference because GFWL has a component which runs in the game's memory, namely Xlive, which performs various integrity checks on the game's code. We have to implement certain bypasses on these Xlive-enabled titles for a trainer to work properly (and not cause a crash of the game).

Generally, if you can press the 'Home' key in-game and have the live window come down, then it's live-enabled, and you should choose a GFWL or Xlive labelled release. If not, then it's not Xlive-enabled, and you should use the non-GFWL trainer. But you should wait until the main menu until you hit the 'Home' key, as it doesn't always respond while the game is first loading.

Ok thank you... But i meant is the efficiency improved .. i mean not so manny crashes as the first 1.7?

It's the same thing, written for two different versions of the game. They should both behave the same way.
