wine users - Oct 2004 - Edit Windows XP registry with wines regedit?

Hi,
is it possible to edit the registry of an installed Windows XP under Linux 
with wine's regedit? I've replaced my mainboard which has a different 
chipset. So this crappy Windows XP doesn't want to boot now.
Cheers, Martin

You'll need to reinstall Windows, otherwise it won't have the correct
drivers for your new motherboard.  There is no shortcut using WINE for this
(that I know of).  WINE is for software issues not hardware.

Cheers,

Julian

No, that is not possible. We can only read the registry, not write it.
There may be a solution to that with a third party registry editor under
wine, but I'm not sure with that.

Yeah, this is really a very, very screwed up "feature" of windows. We
had this in our company several times. Here are two links that might
help you:
