GTA 4 on Windows XP sp2 cheats and tricks

GTA 4 asks for atleast Windows XP SP3. But it doesn't really need that.

U can make it work( or play actually ) on Windows XP sp2 (which most people have and is the best windOS before Windows 7)

So How Can I make GTA IV work on my old Windows XP sp2 computer ?

Simple.
Modify your registry to fool GTA into thinking u have sp3.

Step 1: Run Regedit by Clicking on Start -> Run , type in "regedit" and press enter
Step 2: Make a backup of your registry (just in case) by File > Export
Step 3: Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Windows"
Step 4: Modify the value of "CSDVersion" from "0x00000200" (SP2) to the Windows XP SP3 value of "0x00000300" (By double clicking on CSDVersion)
Step 5: Close registry editor
Step 6: Reboot
Step 7: Start GTA


For the bonus, here are some GTA cheats.

Keep more cars


At the start of the game it would appear that you can only save two cars parked in the "Residents Parking Only" parking spaces in front of your safe house. However if you can find other "Residents Parking Only" places around the city, you can also save cars there even if you do not have a safe house at those locations yet.

When walking or running up stairs, jump at the first step to skip or sometimes launch yourself up the stairs.

You can Date

You can date people from the in-game Internet. When looking at their profile click "Date". You then have to wait a few in-game days for a negative or positive reply via email. If your date accepts, reply to their email and meet them.
