I'm running it on Windows 7. If you change the compatibility to Windows Vista SP1 it works fine. I got my copy of GTA IV on Steam so the destination of the file was in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV
and the files I changed were
gta4Browser
gtaEncoder
GTAIV
but I think the only one you need to change is
LaunchGTAIV

All you need to do is right click on the file, open up properties, go to the compatibility tab and change the setting to "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" and then run the game by double clicking the "LaunchGTAIV.exe" and it should be fine.

Here are some items that I've passed on the System Requirements for GTA IV (PC)
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.
And I would say that I have Failed three of them that was required in order to run the game very smoothly.
(Optimally) like it says in the game when you go into graphics settings.
But as shown in the image below, You'll see what I have passed and What I've failed and need to upgrade on.

It's worth mentioning that minimum system requirements don't necessarily translate to a playable experience, it simply means that the game will be able to start.

I was only averaging 64fps on GTA IV and, I don't mean to seem rude here, my spec far exceeds yours. I doubt it will even start.
