Hi, I'm running wine 20010112 compiled from sources, installed under suse 6.2. I have an installed win98 partition with word 97. When I run Word the document text (new and existing documents) is very small and the escape length is zero (all characters appear on top of each other). As a sanity check, notepad seems to work fine. Menus and toolbars also display OK. I've checked google and can't see any previous messages which give me any further clues other than stuff about the location of the registry, which I think I have sorted. All I can see that might be related is a message from GetLocaleInfoA saying thes SLANGUAGE is not defined and please could I define it. I did a trace and saw that win.ini had been read and that sLanguage in there was set correctly to 'eng'. I also saw that GetLocaleInfoA (looking for "Control Panel\\International\\sLanguage") was being called in a loop. It was called 33 times and the missing language warning appeared at call number 26. Each call apparently loaded a different language and the last call loaded "English (United Kingdom)", which is what I want. Question - is the missing language relevant? Question - is wine or word responsible for the loop through all the languages? Question - Is there anywhere else I should be looking? Any clues gratefully received. Mike Sandford
