GTR2002 installation problem

Hi all, Has anybody experienced this problem after intalling GTR2002? I cannot get it to run, I get an "Unexptected Error! Quitting" message. This is after making a clean install of F12002. I am running an AMM 1600+, with 255RAM, WINXP Pro, etc. Many thanks Zen

Would that be the correct spelling of Henrie? If its the Thierry that I'm thinking of. -- Peter Ives (AKA Pete Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying via email If you know what's good for you, don't listen to me :) GPLRank Joystick -50.63 Wheel -21.77

Did you go for a drive in F1 2002 before installing GTR2002? The following instructions might help. http://www.sbdt.co.uk/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=27&t=14415&s=6c9c0c7e6d00896d263e40cfc1e3df42 Jeff

Ok no problems there. Do you have A) the XP service pak installed and B) are you using large fonts on your desktop? Also try both 32bit color or 16 bit color for your desktop. Probably it should match what you are using in the mod. Compare the two ini files to see if the bottom half of gtr2002config.ini matches the config.ini file. dave henrie

Hi, the "unexpected error" message comes most likely from one of the runtime files needed by the mod launcher not registered correctly in your system. Do a search for the following files: comctl32.ocx and comdlg32.ocx Overwrite them with the ones from the system folder. Hope this helps. Klaus

You're right, it isn't.. It's Thierry Henry (a famous French footballer who, last I checked, played for Arsenal. But being a Yank I can't keep up on it as I'd like so he may be at another club now).. but still a funny inside joke by Aidee.

So he's the French guy with an English spelling of his name and I'm a Yank with English/Scando heritage witha French spelling...go figure.
