Stupid question: where is the Preferences box?
Good day! I am GUI-challenged, and proud of it, but I would like a bit of help. When I start netscape (picked from an Earthlink CD) it raises a message box that says (this is picked from --debugmsg +text and folded for mailing convenience): trace:text:DrawTextExW L"Error: temporary directory E: does not exist. Please enter a new directory in the preferences box.", 99 , [(0,0),(264,0)] Seems it wants to create E: (nil) and wine won't let it, since /gp/tmp already exists, so I thought to do as the messagebox asks and enter a new directory in the prefernces box, but - I can't find it. Home, Go, New&cool, Security, This Toolbar, That Shortcut all over the screen, but where in the name of Babbage is preferences?

I couldn't find anything like this in the Preferences dialog, nor in the registry. If you figure it out, please let us know! Thanks, James -- James Juran jamesjuran@alumni.psu.edu
