Hi, First of all I am using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) with Wine installed. I was wondering if anyone has tried this program called Paltalk. It is a voice chat program/client. They do provide a web/flash version but it is not the same as the application that is available on Windows. Initially I couldnt install it using wine, so I read somewhere that I had to install IE4Linux and MSN messenger then install Paltalk. I did that and it installed itself just fine, however, it crashes rather often (more like every 30 seconds). I was wondering if anyone else has managed to install it without any problems and could possibly guide me on how/what to do. Many thanks for the positive responses in advance :)

(winetricks can get IE installed) (You'll need to delete your ~/.wine to get rid of any settings that IEs4Linux might have broken) Read this: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-ef0f22c66a018860d10339c13270c458d29f4980 Also ensure that you are running the latest Wine version (1.2) See http://www.winehq.org/download/deb/ Gert
Thanks Gert, I will try that and see if it works and get back to you. Many thanks for the prompt reply :)
Just to let you know, it worked for me following your advice. However, there was a problem and that is whenever somone displays one of the origional "emoticons" such as "Smile" :) it would crash. So I went to one of the chat rooms and disabled the option to show emoticons. This solved my problem. However from time to time every so very long I paltalk crashed, but I have yet to see why it is. I only replied here so that if anyone else wants to try it, then they can just read the post and know the problems and how to fix it. :) Thanks once again
