There is one more thing to consider using the 1992mod_changes posted above: If you have the GP4 9.6 Patch installed, do not replace the teamarts default.ini to change driver 9/10 pictures, because the patch already changed them in the driver select menu. Unfortunately the patch did not fix the order of 9/10 drivers gpaedia also. Thus we have to live with wrong pictures in drivers 9/10 gpaediby petrus - Grand Prix 4
After a bit of testing with an installed GP4 9.6 patch I see that switching drivers in gpaedia does not really solve the problem, because now you will get the wrong driver 9/10 gpaedia if you right click in the driver select menu. It's a pity, but it seems we have got no way to get all menu displays perfect while using the 9.6 patched gp4 Because the driver select menu is of more importby petrus - Grand Prix 4

Looks like a wrong delimiter (comma instead of semicolon). Be careful to use characterset "unicode" (UTF16) and the semicolon as delimiter.

Fortunately there exists a very easy solution for the problem with the TSM error message, that is based on the "english.str" patch mentioned above and an editing of the TSM track "settings.ini" file: If in the first tracks "settings.ini" a name is specified like name=Kyalami the menu will show this name instead of the name "Albert Park" from the menuby petrus - Grand Prix 4
