When I try to open Word 97 (installed on a WINXP fat32 partition), it freezes during the startup, and I have to kill wine. Powerpoint opens, though. I'm using Debian testing/unstable, with the latest wine for debian. The Microsoft Office was installed under windows. The error messages (from the log) are shown below: fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit system modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_GetDeviceCaps (0x730): CAPS1 is unimplemented, will return 0 fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit system modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. Thanks for the atention and appologize for the bad English. I'm not a native speaker. []'s, Jorge -- --- "Software is like sex, it is better when it's free" - Linus Torvalds Use Linux!
