Maybe this problem has been up here before, I don't know, but I ask again.
When I try to run GTR I get his message( error):  Run time error '5' :
Invalid procedure call or argument .
Anyone out there who can help me to solv this problem?

   sigh....this was covered ad-infinitum over at the old simbin forums...
Usually you get a run time error from having tooooooooo many cars.  Have
you added a new carset?  Have you tried adding a new package to the mod
like the 360 GT Challenge?  
  Check Blackhole or Racesim central forums, see if they have GTR help
threads going yet.
  There is a batch file in your f1 2k2 folder called delete_pro_drivers or
something close to that...this will rename the extra car file for each car
that simbin included to avoid the mismatch online errors that clutch users
were getting with non-clutch users.  
  Finally the F360 challenge does update the pregame menu, you can have
about double the number of cars if you are using the F360 front end.

  quick fix guide
install f1 2k2 and test drive it
install gtr2k2 and test drive it.
install gtr2k2 v1.2 and test drive it.

If you plan on lots of extra cars then install the F360 Challenge addon mod
Only then attempt to add additional cars, making sure all the new cars are
v1.2 compatible.  Don't add a bunch of single cars in one session...add a
car...TEST IT then try another...

   Alright then, lets dig deeper.   What OS are you using?  If you have XP
make sure you have at least the first service pak installed.  Have you
tried starting GTR with the two alternate exe files?  GTRrun.exe and
GTRlite.exe
  Have you updated your Windows media player...I think the GTR video
requires the latest version.   What video card and what vesion of directX
are you using?
