I'm running mandrake 8.1 and i installed the mandrake RPM. If i try to run: wine notepad.exe winreal keeps running at 98% CPU and nothing appears on the desktop, i let it run for 2 hours. I dl'ed winecheck form winehq.com and these are the results: --------------------------- checking Wine base files --------------------------- 001. Checking for file "wine"... OK. 002.

Wine configuration correctness score: 58.34% Now my question is, what can i do to make it run. maybe obvious from this, but i'm a newbe as you've probably guessed. How should i apply winedefault.reg using regapi? Much appreciated.

Well, if Mandrake has seen the light and got somebody competent to put together their wine rpm, just find the files: rpm -ql wine |grep regapi rpm -ql wine |grep winedefault If either of those fails to find something, the Mandrake wine rpm is essentially worthless. If you find regapi but not winedefault.reg, I think there is wine source somewhere at www.winehq.com. You can get a winedefault.reg there, it is not awfully big. Or I can mail you one. regapi setValue -- -force <winedefault.reg Is how I do it. If you miss regapi, just uninstall the rpm, get the source and read the README all the way through before trying QUICK START. You need pretty near the entire gnu toolchain to build Wine.
