I have a problem, I have been playing Thief Gold this last two days. Today when I started it, Thief could not run and a window told me: "You have 9 Mb of free disk. Thief requires 35. Thief could not run."
OK. I came here and read the general technical problems and I solve it, by tipping "skip_starting_checks" in the user.cfg
Ok, Thief Gold could run. But ¡I cannot save games, because Thief says: Not enough space!
And i have 44Gb of free space. ¿How can I solve it?
Thank you for your attention.
Good-Luck.

Just delete some files from your hard disk or put something on it that takes up an additional 9 Mbytes of space. Then it should work again.

Or, do both. Download something big that you'll never use, then delete it 'till you've cleared enough imaginary space for the game.

From the FAQ:

Thief is saying it cannot play, because I do not have enough space, even if I have a lot of free disk space: how do I fix this?
Open the file user.cfg found in the Thief directory and add the line skip_starting_checks to it and save it. Please note, it may be necessary to create this file.

It would seem as though he already tried that.

So, your still having the problem, just not at start up?

This has been discussed before, and I think is in one of the faqs.
Thief is an old game, and cannot recognize all the space on a modern HD, it only recognizes chunks. If it says you are out of space, the chunk it sees has too little space. The solution, as mentioned a few times already is simply to delete a file or two from that HD, or add a file or two. That will trick thief into looking at a different chunk.
