Can you run GTA IV in a windowed mode?

Can you play GTA IV in a windowed mode? My computer is not good enough to play it at 1680x1050
BTW, can i get more fps by running it at windowed mode?

athlon dual core 5000+ 2,6GHz
3,00GB RAM
8500GT 512MB

10 fps max, any ideas?

I had the same kind of problem with Crysis but i fixed it by run it at WM. Now i can get it up to 26/30 fps
Sorry for my English...

You dont need to run in window mode to use a smaller resolution.

Ultimately it's a demanding game you'll need better hardware before you get good frame rates, the main problem is the CPU, it requires a quad core before you'll get decent frame rates. All you can do is drop all the settings to minimum and run in a very low resoultion.

I guess I really need a new computer, TY.

have you tried reducing your texture and view settings? And dont worry, noones computer (that in know of), can run gta4 at its max without a shitty resolution

I don't have that game, but I've used 3D Analyzer to force a game to run in windowed mode.

Select the game exe file, and under the performance option list, check the force windowed mode option

It dosn't always work with all games, so far I couldn't run Fear 2 demo in windowed mode with it, but i guess its worth a try

I've already tried that. It does not work. Thanks anyway Gta IV needs to be started from Rockstar Games Social Club, not gta.exe.
