Hi guys, This is my first post to this list so sorry if it breaks netiquette. I'm having troubles with a CVS version i pulled yesterday. I'm running Dreamweaver MX, IE6, and Office 2000. All were running fine under a CVS i pulled in Feb. A few bugs but nothing fatal. Heres my finding with this version. Dreamweaver loads fine but freezes instantly when opening the "open" dialog. Might be something to do with the new symlink structure? IE6 seems to load fine but takes a lot longer. A look at the stout shows that it takes a looong time processing the command: fixme:advapi:SetServiceStatus 0x0 0x41b23c This seems to be called 4 times during the startup. Once it's all loaded it works fine. Office 2000. I only use word. It loads fine (very quick) but has a problem with the open dialog. The drives are listed but clicking on them will result in an error dialog saying: File not found. However, clicking on a recent item will load it up in double quick time. Maybe this is another symlink change error. I started with a new config, the sample one from the docs directory, and added all the needed DLLOverrides so it should work fine. If anyone can help with these issues i'll be most grateful. Thanks. -- Adam Cooper <adam.cooper@port.ac.uk> University of Portsmouth
As you know these apps did work, the best thing you can do is find the patch that caused the problems, and then write to the author of the patch and the wine-devel list, pointing out that the patch causes a series of problems. To track down the nasty patch, follow the instructions at http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-devel/cvs-regression You'll probably have to do this various times, to find the patches that caused problems with the various programs you're using.

I would just wait for a couple more weeks until the bugs mostly work themselves out. For example, I think the Word problems are now fixed in CVS. The problem with SetServiceStatus might be worth pursuing though, in the way Ivan mentioned.
