oggdropXPd.exe crashes when resampling is activated
I need to encode a WAV to OGG but must resample to 22050 samples per second,
but can't do that with oggdropXPd.exe. The application always crashes.
What I do is:
Start oggdropXPd.exe. Right-click on fish, choosing 'Encoding Options'.
Under Advanced Options, I set Re-sample to 22050 samples per second. Click
'Accept'. Drag WAV on fish. In the directory where the WAV originates,

Grim Fandango in wine
Hey all,
It's a thorn in my side, I had monkey island 3 running in wine, but this
one just doesn't cooperate. The setup program exits with a problem copying
install files (error 112, if it means anything). If anyone has got it
working, let me know.
Thanks

sound error with Freddy Fish
I'm sure that this has been asked and answered already, but I can't find it.
I have been able to get wine to run Freddi Fish 3 for my daughter but
after starting up, showing the splash screen and starting the game, the
game dies with the error... "Cannot get the sound card driver to accept
the sound clip" or something along those lines. The strange thing is
that it has been

Fatal Error while Installing Baldur's Gate II
Howdy Folks,
I'm trying to install Baldur's Gate II on a windowsless Wine
configuration and not having much luck.
When I run Setup.exe from /cdrom, I get the Baldur's Gate II splash
screen, the progress bar indicating that InstallShield is preparing to
install Baldur's Gate II - Shadow of Amn and a message box stating
'Error installing iKernel.exe: (0x1400)'. When I

Wine and Baldur's Gate
Well,
Now that I've made it through the actual install, I figured I'ld take
Baldur's Gate for a spin. The main screeen, where you select to play the
game, change the configuration, etc, comes up fine. There's a slight pause
after clicking 'Play' while BGMain.exe starts and X is set yo 640x480 (I'm
guessing this has something to do with DETACH_PROCESS?), but

Curse of Monkey Island doesn't work with wine 0.9.24
I installed the game like it is described in the WineHQ application
database. The installation worked without problems but running the game
produced the following error message:
Cannot create DirectSound object (-2147467259)
I got around this by switching off OSS sound and using ALSA instead,
but know I have the same problem that Erich Hoover mentioned in the
AppDB. The music starts to play but

files missing
I have a 1 TB ext3 filesystem mounted via iscsi on a redhat 9 system w/
kernel version - 2.4.20-30.9. I'm not sure when it happened, but today
there appears to be about 7,000 files (600GB) missing. The output from
df implies that the files are still there. It shows 861 GB utilized.
But du shows only 300 GB of data. I'm sure that there are no processes

Baldur's Gate slow after upgrading Linux Kernel
I'm running wine 1.1.2 on Gentoo Linux.
When playing at least Baldur's Gate I and Baldur's Gate II with Linux 2.6.21 kernel it does run smoothly but changing the kernel to any newer version does the game to run slowly.
I have been checking the config of both kernels, and I have tried to get the same in them. I have a GF 6600 GT and nvidia 173.14.09, but I don't think it's the

multiple paired t-tests without loops
I am new to R and I suspect my problem is easily solved, but I haven't
been able to figure it out without using loops. I am trying to
implement Blair & Karniski's (1993) permutation test. I've included a
sample data frame below. This data frame represents the conditional
means (C1, C2) for 3 subjects in 2 consecutive samples of a continuous
data set (e.g. ERP waveform).

baldurs gate...
Hi NG,
i tried to run baldurs gate. I saw the Intro and thats all. Wine was
always printing the same
message:"fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_CreateSurface App didn't request a
valid surface type - assuming offscreenplain". Is this a missing feature
in wine (when will it be implemented)?

Freetype kills Icewind Dale 2 on Fedora 9
The latest Fedora 9 RPM install of Wine (0.9.58-1) will give the following complaint without freetype installed:

Black (transparent?) Screen - wine 1.3.34
Hi,
I'm having some issues with multiple games running under Wine, namely the GoG versions of Age of Wonder and Baldur's Gate. Both of these are listed on WineHQ as compatible, but I'm not having the same luck.
If Compiz is running when I start the game, I get a black screen, but the game itself is obviously working, as the game music is playing and I can hear menu buttons pressed
