GTR2002 won't run :(

Since the Simbin forums are gone, I'm hoping somebody here can help me.

I installed the full version of F12002 (do I have to load the movies?).  
I then set up the 3D, created a driver and did a lap at Spa.  No problem.

I installed GTR next.  When I double-click on the shortcut or the
executeable for GTR, the screen goes black for a sec, I hear a click,
then I get dumped back to the desktop.  Once, after this happened and I
did Ctrl+Alt+Del to see if it was running and just taking a long time,
there were an entry:
mmtask [not responding].
Another time, when the screen went black, I saw te old fashioned Windows
Media Player logo on screen.

Any clues what the problem might be?

BTW, I am running an up-to-date install of Win98SE with the latest NVIDIA
drivers on a GeForce 3.

Sounds like you've got some Windows Media problems on your PC.  GTR2002 uses
Windows Media to play its intro.  Try installing the 1.2 patch for GTR 2002
and then run GTR2002lite.exe which bypasses the intro.

I installed the 1.2 patch and ran GTR2002.exe (I don't know what I was
thinking).  The movie ran, but then I got a runtime error.  If I run
GTR2002lite.exe, I get a black window with an F12002 cursor and it
doesn't do anything.  Ctrl+Alt+Del shows it as GTR2002.  It requires me
to Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill it.

   Do you have any extra cars installed?  Did you TEST GTR before
installing the 1.2 patch?   You can try gtrrun.exe and gtrlite.exe as well

No.  No add-on cars yet (off to install the TVR now).  Yes.  As I
mentioned in my first post, I tried GTR first, but it didn't work either.

GTRun.exe worked, but I couldn't select cars or drivers.  I turned down
the resolution and it works fine now.  :)

Thanks guys.

Yes, that's a flaw in the 1.2 patch - you have to create a driver profile in
1.0 before installing 1.2
