I did find a older copy of each file elsewhere on the drive, and I did
overwrite them with the version found in the systems folder as you suggest,
but I still get the same error message.
Any thoughts?

For the purpose of telling you for the same reason i was told..so as NOT to
do it because it was illegal.
I sometimes do things and then get told that was illegal....!!
So in this case i was told before to stop me from ever doing it :)
So what NOT to do is this.
Either have a copy of Win XP including SP1 cracked.....those *** people
do actually have such a thing.
Or use the available 'utilities' to alter parameters prior to SP 1 update.
Neither applies to me as i have Win ME and it is bug free and runs
beautifully.;-)

I finally managed to get GTR2002lite to run, after re-installing video
drivers and MS Directx 9.0 (what a mod!). It remains unclear why it wasn't
working before. I wish I new, because that could help me understand why I
can't get the full version of GTR to run. I still get the same "unexpected
error: quitting: message.
Any idea why one would run, but not the other?

Usually the reason is tooooooo many cars in your car folder. THe
regular premenu seems to have a limit of 60 active cars. HOWEVER...The
only difference between gtlite and gtr.exe is the intro movie. You are not
really missing anything functionally.
I wouldn't worry about it if you can get gtlite working.
