I bought GTA IV for PC today. When I was running Setup, it ran to the end until it started installing some WMP components. Then I got a BSoD which asked me to check for sufficient hard disk space. I checked, all my drives have over 8 GBs free, and F:\ (where I was installing GTA IV) had 19 GBs free. The game had been installed to the folder but the registry hadn't been updated and I wasn't able to run the game. Even after another attempt to install, the same happened. Then I browsed to the DVD, and tried to install umdf.exe, wmpappcompat.exe and wmfdist11.exe but all of them gave the same error: "Not enough storage is available to process this command"

I'm running Win7 Ultimate 32 bit, 250 GB HDD, 3 GB RAM, 2GHz Intel Pentium processor, Intel HD Graphics.

Please advise on how to fix this.

i don't even think that rig is good enough to run IV...

I wouldnt even try installing GTA IV with those system specs you posted there.

Weak PC or not, the problem isn't from that.

How much space is there in C: [Main Drive]?

Got it installed somehow by running the setup again, however I still can't install those 3 exes...but now there is another problem: textures are all missing. I can't see buildings , or even the floor, I just see the car, some water below and invisible obstacles when I try to drive my car. I know my specs are pretty weak but I can run CoD 4, 6, Crysis, NFS Shift and other high-graphics games with decent FPS. Only GTA 4 is giving me problems. I did a Google search, turns out many people are having the same problem, but no one knows of a sure fire solution.
P.S.: C:\ has 7.19GB at the moment.

That problem is because of the weakness of your PC, you have to get a new one if you want to play IV in decent settings.

In most cases, it's enough to have an adequate PC.

as everyone else told you, im going to tell you bluntly.... your pc is a peice of walmart has been trash. we will be glad to help you build a new pc, but your pc will not play the game, i am suprised anything loads. you know your pcs specs obviously, now compare them to that little section on the box called pc requirements - which you dont come anywhere close to. thats the hard truth and i hate to deliver it like that but you are really wasting your time.



*** bet i get a warning for raggin on your pc...

@Slavezero: excuse me, but the minimum requirements according to the box are as follows: 16 GB hard disk space, 1.5 GB RAM (Win Vista), 256MB ATI or nVidia something something graphics card. My computer satisifies all those requirements, and its available video memory is around 1GB. It can easily handle other games having the same graphics card requirements, as already mentioned above. Besides, while searching about this on Google, I found that other people having even better configurations are having the same missing texture problem.

You don't even have a discrete GPU hence you don't meet the requirements.

Turns out 1 GB is shared video memory. I tried the commandline.txt method along with CacheBoost to use the shared memory and now I'm able to play this at a playable FPS on LOW graphics settings. Thanks anyways guys, problem is solved.

Hey Intel HD Graphics card is not a bad card and if you have intel hd 4500 mhd then you could also play this game on medium settings. Just follow these steps-
1) Download contig and create a shortcut on the desktop and at the location bar at the end
type -s and then run it.
2) Download and patch the game with 1.0.4.0 never patch gta iv with 1.0.7.0 on intel hd graphics.
3) Download gamebooster and just boost it before launching the game.
4) the most important step- add these to your commandline.txt and save it.

I am 100% sure that you will get minimum 20 fps and maximum 35fps
