I open the program and after giving me the sharware license agreement 
I close it and get an "object was unloaded" error.

This is error occurs on only some systems. It's a bit funny because it is 
easily avoided. When you read the license agreement, do what it says. 
Press enter, don't just cancel the window.

 Runtime Error 7 (Out of memory)

You are not out of memory. You downloaded and installed the "Partial Install" and
you don't have VB5 and/or the OCXs required by GTACars. 

PLEASE:
1. Uninstall GTACars.
2. Download and install with the FULL 3.1 version.

 Run-Time error '50003'.  Unexpected Error.
   (usually when selecting 'edit car')

You downloaded and installed the "Partial Install" and you don't have VB5 and/or 
the OCXs required by GTACars. 

You haven't fully installed GTACars (sometimes it takes two installs, if the first only
performs a 'system update')  

Your copy of COMCTL32.OCX is old or missing.

PLEASE:
1. Uninstall GTACars.
2. Download and install with the FULL 3.1 version.

 Run-Time error '75'
 Path/File access error

> > I had the GTA program in an unusual location. The GTA directory was in a couple of
> > folders then I moved it to C:\GTA that's what it was!
> > It was previously in C:\windows\desktop\GAMING WORLD\GTA

PLEASE:
1. Uninstall GTACars (You are obviously not using GTACars3.1)
2. Download and install with the FULL 3.1 version.
 
OR
1. Check that your are editing the STYLE on your hard disk, not the CD.
2. Check that the STYLE is not READONLY. Go to the style file in Windows and
	RightClick->Properties->ReadOnly (unchecked).

  Some error not described here in the FAQ.

Please send the following information so I can find what the
common factor between the people having this problem is:
Windows version (win95/win95a/win95b)
Have IE4 installed?
Have Office 97 installed?
Have VB5 installed? Have Service Pack 3?
Using partial install or full install?
GTA is not running at the time?
Occurs when saving? loading? first running?

 Unable to uninstall GTACars3.

Not a big deal! Just delete the directory and remove the icon from the Start Menus.
Don't bother worrying about the System DLLs and Registry or what Add/Remove programs says.

There is alot of wasted room where the graphics are displayed, and the tool bar buttons
have an odd size.

This has to do with a fault in VB where it ignores when a Windows user has configured a 
custom or unusual font size, so that the dpi is different.

Check that your Windows_Settings_ControlPannel_Display_Settings.
I recommend you set to FONT SIZE SMALL and use a 800x600 desktop. (although this is not
required like in GTACars 2)
