GTA4 - Commandline.txt that fixes Graphics Settings Error

A file called "commandline.txt" can be helpful if you get the the following error message under Graphics in the GTA 4 menu:
Warning: Your graphics settings are near, or exceed, the suggested resource limits for your system. It is recommended that you reduce your graphics settings in order to run the game optimally.

The video shows how to install a very simple "commandline.txt". The only content in the file is this:
-nomemrestrict -norestrictions

You make this simple file yourself and add it to the folder called Grand Theft Auto IV

On Windows 8 the folder called Grand Theft Auto IV is here:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto IV

It is possible to put more content in the "commandline.txt"-file.
See this video for example:

It's best to watch this video in HD (1080p).

IT SEEMS THIS SOLUTION WORKS ON SOME COMPUTERS BUT NOT ON ALL. (This fix is not recommended if your graphics card is below the minimum requirements for GTA IV.)

The song in the background is "Crimson Fly" by Huma-Huma. You can find it in the Youtube Audio Library.

IF THE SOLUTION IN THIS VIDEO DOES NOT WORK, try this solution from Rockstar Games support:
