Thanks, Tiny. I don't know whether running 3DConfig first did the trick
or whether it was my correction my own stupidity. 8-)

After running 3DConfig per your instructions, I finally noticed the icon
for the mod that was created on the desktop. I was trying to run GTP by
using the desktop icon for the 3rd installation of NR2003 (not GTP's),
thinking that I would just need to switch to the GTP series on the main
screen of NR2003 (like the Trans-Am mod was structured). Doh!

So, if anyone else is having similar problems to me -- Look for the icon
for Redline GTP on your desktop! That's the one that you should be
launching.... LOL!

Thanks again!
