Hi Just trying to get Your attention again ;] I'm still trying to launch SEF2000 on my wine, this time I got some debugging info on the case. I launch it from the c:\did\PROGRAM directory (I moved it so to try and keep out errors with bad dirname, spaces etc, but as tested on a windows, it works so too) with: export LC_ALL=C export LANG=C export WINEDEBUG=err+all,warn+all,fixme+all wine _SUPERW.EXE DID=. quick_flag=1 GUI >& eflog The log below is stripped of repeating occurences, so in general it looks like this: first it shows msgs seraching for dll's like: warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"\\??\\C:\\did\\PROGRAM\\GDI32.dll" -> "/home/szift/.wine/dosdevices/c:/did/PROGRAM/gdi32.dll" required a case-insensitive search and the

7887 Segmentation fault wine _SUPERW.EXE DID=. quick_flag=1 GUI what happens on screen is: a small dark window appears (the intro) then changes to a bigger one (640x480 - the menu) both windows are just black when I click the 'X' on the titlebar the "Are you sure" window appears (this one displays ok) and when I press OK, the MEMORY errors above appear (The memory could not be written The instruction at 7fb7b0ce referenced memory at 00000001...) this is all I could find out, any ideas? btw. the wine.drv or wine.drv.so are nowhere to be found, I tried searching the whole compile dir and it's not there too but this never was a problem -- Best wishes Szift
