I have this problem reported when running a Win3x application: fixme:hook:SetWindowsHookEx16 hook type 1 broken in Win16 I have searched and found this exact error and similar ones (up to fixme:hook:SetWindowsHookEx16) reported as part of other error messages, but I haven't seen what to do about it. It seems this is the only error I am getting. What can I do about it? What does it mean? Thanks in advance, -Bill

Wine can print lots of different messages. Unless you have a real problem with your application you ignore those messages.

It is called "GradeBook for Windows," v3.07 (c) 1995. I think there are newer versions specifcially for Windows XP, but I don't have a copy. Also, I'm not sure, but I think it may not be this app, but rather the WINE installation. It is a little flaky at present and I have not been able to determine what is going wrong. - Bill
The problem is that, sometimes, the app will not launch at all. I think it's a WINE problem, because when this happens none of my Windows applications work. I think some application (or possibly some configuration in WINE) is causing something to be left or set incorrectly, which causes WINE to fail on subsequent launches. The work around I'm using is to delete the ~/.wine folder, then launch WineFile to create a new one. I keep the ~/.wine/c_drive folder from the old one and move it to the new copy of ~/.wine which protects me from having to reinstall everything each time. (I'm confident this does not bring the problem along, though, because WINE works for a while -- different applications -- after re-importing the c_drive folder.) It might not be Gradebook at all that is the source of the problem. However, it is the Win application I used most often, and after some period of time, WINE fails and I have to re-create the .wine folder. Sometimes it fails after a few uses, sometimes after a dozen or even more. Any clues on how I might troubleshoot this further? - Bill
