-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have installed wine 20010629 from codeweavers (this seems to be the latest version available from there). Running on a 700MHz Linux box, with gnome as the desktop manager and icewm as the window manager. If I run the (in)famous SOL.EXE, it takes 53 seconds before the program appears on the desktop. All the other programs I've tried seem to take at least this long (and sometimes several minutes) before they appear. Is this normal, or might there be somewthing screwy with my configuration file? The config file is almost unchanged from the file that came from codeweavers (I just changed the definition of the C: drive and added an extra hard drive). (I checked the recent archives, and couldn't get a feel from the posting as to whether this is normal behaviour or not.) Doc Evans - ---------------------------------------------------------- D.R.

Maybe your system has a misconfigured video card? I have a P233 (running Afterstep), and it takes about 4-5 seconds for solitaire to load.

Do you get error/fixme messages about it ? Tsch?? Stefan

Wine starts up a whole win32/16 subsystem, so compare it more to booting windows then to start a program under windows. However you can start the wineserver in some perststant mode and then startup of programm should be faster.
