I installed wine some days ago from the ubuntu repo's. Unfortunately it doesn't works for me yet. :( I start the configuration with the following command: Code: user at machine:~$ winecfg Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible. Then the wine windows comes up and i can work. When i go to the stations tab and i see: c: /media/cdrom0 d: /media/cdrom0 z: / I think the c: setting is wrong. I try to chang it but then some other errors come up: Code: err:winecfg:load_drives GetVolumeInformation() for 'C:\' failed, setting serial to 0 err:winecfg:load_drives GetVolumeInformation() for 'D:\' failed, setting serial to 0 err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory L"c:\\windows\\profiles\\user\\Desktop". What is wrong?? thanks for any reply. I can't seem to find a answer in the user manual or wiki.
