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

Is there a way to persuade Wine to run a windows screensaver? (Assuming it is installed under Wine)? -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson

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

Hi David, try this patch: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-May/026859.html David Dawson wrote: Tried to compile the lastest wine and gcc choked up on it as follows: gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -I/usr/X11R6/include -D__WINESRC__ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -gstabs+ -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o baseshader.o baseshader.c baseshader.c: In

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. Thanks -- ...Dave Dawson "If you wrestle in the mud with a pig, you both get dirty, and

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.

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

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, some time ago (around 7. May 2006) there was a coment in the App DB to get the setup of Internet Explorer 6 working. The Coment was about removing some dll names from the wine.inf file. The coment was removed from the App DB, but the setup still fails for me with current cvs (~2 hours ago). Therefore i like two know two things: - does anyone remember which lines needs to be removed

Hi I downl;oaded the source distribution of wine 0.9.14 and compiled it as described in the readme file. I now created an rpm with checkinstall.

Has anyone succeeded in running Pegasus Mail with a version of Wine newer than 0.9.8? With Wine 0.9.9 I experienced a termination of Pegasus Mail every time I closed a message composition window. This was not "fixed" in Wine 0.9.10. With Wine 0.9.11 and Wine 0.9.12 Pegasus Mail appears to be unable to display anything other than its startup window with the flying horse and the

Good {morning,afternoon,evening} everybody, A while ago I wrote to the list asking about whether the uidNumber/gidNumber of the "commonly-known SIDs" had to match the RID of the SID; the answer was "no". I asked because I intended to implement multiple NT4/Samba domains using a single LDAP tree; each Samba PDC/BDC instance would only use the relevant subset of the tree.

Hey all, I'm doing some Kerberos stuff at work, and I'm thinking it'd be nice if dovecot had GSSAPI support. I found http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-July/004039.html (thanks Colin :), but it's a long ways away from applying to the current stable tree. I'm wondering - has anybody else been keeping a local copy of this patch up to date? Thanks, Dave -- Arguing

Hey all, I'm looking to merge multiple NT4 domains into a single infrastructure based on Samba3 and OpenLDAP on Linux of the Debian Sarge flavour (and, Bob willing, Samba4 before long). In order to allow some resources to be shared from a single Linux instance, I'm rather hoping that I can put every domain's information into a single LDAP DIT. The Samba PDCs will use only portions of

I've just updated my Ubuntu system with the latest Wine from wine.org hoping it would resolve an ongoing problem with the Windows Pegasus email program. Pegasus loads fine, address books and identities all there but the Internet Options is greyed out. I've tried enabling and disabling the winsock32.dll option, I've tried suggestions of deleting pmail.cfg and winpm-32.manifest.
