If you truely only have 1.67gb free on your hard drive, that's your problem. I believe you may have meant that your processor speed is 1.67GHz. If you highlight your hard drive (on your desktop) and then press the "command" + "i" keys at the same time it will give you a another window and in the General section please post what it says for the Format, Capacity, Available and Used.

Hi!

It's normal, then. Originally, you had 120 GB of space, but now you only have 1.5... GB of FREE space.The thing is Mac OS X needs about 2-3 GB free for running as expected, then you need extra free space for your game ( see game specs for details).

I suggest you delete some files on your HD, which seems to be almost full, in order to have 4-5 GB of free space. Then, everything should be ok.

Good luck!
