Hope this is the right place for this question. I was trying to bring up the 'Greyfeather Gems, Pt 1' mission when I received the following error msg: 'You have 25M of free disk space, Thief 2 requires 35M. Thief 2 cannot run'.
My free disk space is 189GB. Could someone please tell me what went wrong and what to do to correct the problem? T2 wasn't doing that earlier in the day. Am quite baffled as to what went wrong.
Thanks for any guidance.

Don't Worry!!!

Open your Cam.cfg file and add skip_starting_checks on its own line at the end. Make sure to place one extra newline at the end of the file.
That should do it!

Or you could just deleat a program you dont use anymore or install another one. For some reason changing the available disc space on your hard drive works to. It has happened to me several times.

If that works, shouldn't it be in the FAQ? When I had this problem I don't remember something as mindbogglingly useful as that being in the FAQ back then.

I think it's only recently been discovered.

Yes, I believe both DrysilsChosen and myself had the same problem...It's in a thread of his...I don't recall who answered but you can look it up if you want.

Slightly different,
With Dark Loader v4.1 I got "You have 1M of free disk space, Thief 2 requires 5M".
I needed to up-date to v4.2; so did that over-writing the v4.1 directory hoping that would fix it. I started getting a little window with "Accès au fichier refusé".
Playing T1G through DL v4.1 and v4.2 worked fine. Only with the T2 orig, fm or dromed would it occur.
So I came here, did the cam.cfg trick and all is ok now.
Thank you Random_Taffer for the fix.

Was my fault for the error. The error happened after I did a complete low level format, format to NTFS, and re-installed my winxp-pro on my "c" drive.
Darkloader is E:\Program Files\DarkLoader
T2-----E:\Program Files\Thief2
T1G----E:\ThiefG
Not related to this because this has been on-going for a year or so; most of my T1G textures(mainly the water) is hosed. Been dealing with that, no biggy to me. Most orig T1g and fm missions textures are missing or models in the white triangle. Well, just wanted to share that little tidbit. Mainly playing T2 missions now. bye again, JimB

If I remember rightly I added an autofix for this in GarrettLoader 1.31 when you specify your Thief 2 game path in the config. It basically does the cam.cfg file update if the file exists (I think you have to play the game a bit for the cam.cfg file to be created).

Whenever I get this problem I simply change the compatibility settings, works every time.
