Is there a way to run The WindowsGenuineAdvantage.exe? i tried it with Wine 0.9.29 and it crashed. What I really wanted to do was run the WindowsVistaAdvisor.msi, That proceeded and I got the .NET stuff downloaded and installed, but It wanted IE version 5.5 or something. I think if the fake IE stuff in Wine should have made that last step above unecessary? Any ideas? Thanks. NOTE: This is

Hi, I tried some windows screensavers with Wine. Most screensavers start with the configuration screen without a possibility to start the main screensaver part. It's the same thing when I rename a screensaver file from 'somewhat.scr' to 'somewhat.exe' and try to run it with a doubleclick on my Windows 2000 PC. (*.scr: the screensaver starts, *.exe: the configuration screen

I have PrintMaster 7.0 Classic (I assume) and it will in fact print, which is more than it will do on Win XP, but Wine printing is not able to handle the coloured fonts correctly. Is there a tweak that can be applied? By downloading a dll for instance? The only Wine error related to printing was: fixme:commdlg:PRINTDLG_WMCommandA No handling for print quality combo box yet. That didn't

This is a freeware program written in Visual Basic 6.0 which I would dearly love to get working under Wine. It is available here: http://pages.cthome.net/n1mm/ It appears to install (with a few errors and fixmes reported). Then when I ran it, the program coughed up a VB runtime error and died (also a few errors and fixmes). I am running Wine 0.9.16 which I compiled from source in Debian Etch,

Has anyone got any Internet Explorer to install (and then hopefully run) with Wine under Debian Sarge? I tried all the methods I could find and have not been able to successfully do this. I even tried wiping out the old ~/.wine dir and starting fresh, but to no avail. I would appreciate info on this.

A friend of mine gave me a Cd with the "Learn Typing Quick & Easy" program. It installs, but when I ran it, quit with the following message 'Wrong version of operating system; requires Windows NT 3.51 (build 1057 or above) Maybe it would run if I could give it the required version build number (I tried setting the Windows version to NT 3.51, but that didn't satisfy it).

How can I configure my Wine setup to be able to connect through my router consistantly? I mean that certain apps, notably ie6setup.exe seem to see the lan, but not be able to look any further.

I am getting the following message from the stripsaver2 install and wondered if this affects other programs with graphics: wine: creating configuration directory '/home/dave/.wine'... err:wgl:wgl_initialize_glx glx_version as 1.2 and GLX_SGIX_fbconfig extension is unsupported. Expect problems. Is this end-user fixable, like by updating a glx library or something? -- If you wrestle in

The line in the subject appears in several programs, and may be preventing some of them from working. Is there a work-around?

A Large Wine Company in Upstate NY is considering leveraging EScreenz, A software application that allows companies to deliver messages to all employees and workforce via idle computers screensavers.

I could not get Wine to install Microsoft Word 2000 OS: Debian Testing Wine version 0.9.24 The Word .exe file never showed up in the Office subdirectory I captured the errors; it appeared that Wine crashed at some point. The question is: can Office 2000 or parts of it be installed under this wine version, and if not, which version will install it? I have lost track. Here is the file contents:

Wine will now do something that Windows XP cannot. That is, printing from PrintMaster 7.0 works under Wine (up to a point), whereas it doesn't work at all under WinXP. I think that is maybe a milestone! -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson

Hi all! I keep having problems with screensaver(s) on Centos-7. I have in the past liked Xscreensaver, so I've installed it and tried to suppress whatever other screensaver is on the system. Xscreensaver works fine for a day or 20 then quits working. After a lengthy battle I gave up and removed it. I'm now trying mate-screensaver, which does the same thing! when I say "quits

The BOINC project has a screensaver that runs on Windows. I installed BOINC in a virtual machine running Windows XP (32 bit) and copied boinc.scr from the C:\Windows directory onto my 64 bit F13 system. When I run the screensaver I get an error. Any feedback is appreciated. I can run glxgears without any problem. $ wine boinc.scr Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.5).

Hi all! I have found a way to get using (some of) Windows Screensavers using an AutoHotkey script to start them automatically. If someone is interested, I can post a short howto soon.

Hello all. The best screensaver of all time in my opinion is E-volved cultures, available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~notnot/E-volverLUMC/screensaver.html Not only are the images it creates highly aesthetic, but they can seamlessly tile, so they are perfect for many applications. My current desktop was generated by this screensaver. I've tried everything though and it won't show up. I
