You can save. Make an offline Windows Live account then either use the autosave or turn it off and press F at a save point.

It needs Sp3 on XP 32 bits!
If you want you can play a trick with the game and make it think that you have SP3 installed!
You need to mess with the registry, just google it!
After that you can run just fine!

I didn´t test it!
Good Luck :

GTA IV PC Works fine with Windows XP SP2! I'm playing it now on my XP SP2 PC. The trick is to let GTA think you have SP3 on. Some app I Installed also wanted SP3 installed to run, but I was too lazy to download SP3 at the time so I tricked it. You can change/tweak what Service pack windows reports is installed by tinkering with the Registry. This works like a bomb!

Here is how:
(Only do this if you like tinkering with the registry!)

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)
Step 3: Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Windows"
Step 4: Modify the value of "CSDVersion" from "0x00000200" (SP2) to the Windows XP SP3 value of "0x00000300"
Step 5: Close registry editor
Step 6: Reboot
Step 7: Start GTA and freakin enjoy it already!

Why you people don't install SP3? I don't understand why, because SP3 improve overall XP speed by 10%.

I used to be a knee like you. Then I took an adventurer in the arrow.
