Sony VAIO, might be having ATI graphics, possibly HD5450 series.
The game, GTA IV is very demanding game, in terms of system.
Even I cant run it on full graphics on my system, though its a desktop.
I ran it on 1920 X 1080, more than medium details.
If i tweak the settings to high, it starts lagging.
So dont try to increase the settings, try to play it on minimum settings.
Because you cant upgrade anything on a laptop that easily.

GTA 4 is a horribely coded game which runs really bad on PC. I am not surprised at all a laptop with a weak gpu lika a ati 5450m not being able to run it properly. All you can do is to put everything on low and hope that you can get palyable framerate. Sorry, there is nothing we can do about that.

If you have been on this forum long enough, you know that your problem is not unique. Many people with much batter hardware have problem running it at playable framerate and everytime, we came to the same conclusion for this game- play it on a console.

To run the game as good as the console on a PC you need a quad core cpu with high end gpu in a desktop. Stay away from playing that game on PC if you are not putting serious money to invest on hardware.
