I am getting a "DOS memory range unavailable" message when I'm trying to install Grim Fandango. What does this mean and how do I solve it.

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,

MI2 starts ok but when I click new game it just kinda freezes, though the music keeps playing. Any ideas? last line is: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x7f0c3400 at address 0x68615040 (thread 0034), starting debugger... Could you post your .wine/user.reg ? the DllOverrides section?

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

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

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

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

Hi! I'd like to play with snes, arcade and other retro games, but unfortunatelly there isn't any linux emus for this. So I run the emutaltor callus with wine, with medius succes: Callus works fine, everything is ok, but it uses 100% CPU, and becouse of that, the soung goes wrongs somethimes. I don't know why it is takes so mutch work to wine... Callus emulate only 66 Mhz... The

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

hi there, im really new to linux and wine (about 2 days new now) and am having a few problems playing escape from monkey island everytime i load it up using the direct3D option i get a message saying unable to initialize hardware, if i open it using the openGL option it works but in a tiny screen. then i discovered the same result happens when i emulate a desktop using wine's configuration

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 holding onto deleted files because

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

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).

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)? PS:I'm running the cvs version of today(4.May)

The latest Fedora 9 RPM install of Wine (0.9.58-1) will give the following complaint without freetype installed: Code: Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5. http://www.freetype.org However Icewind Dale 2 still runs fine. But if I install freetype then it won't run at all and

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

Ok, Installed Ubuntu 8.10 clean, installed Wine, installed Office 2000 clean. What I need to do is open a database form in MSAccess on a server across the network.
