Hello, I'm new to using WINE (and to these lists), so I apologize if this has been asked and answered already: Has anyone been able to get Ghost Recon to at least install? The autorun program came up just fine, but when I click the button to install, it promptly quits. I tried running the setup.exe program directly, and it gets as far as trying to setup and install shield wizard, and then

Hi all, I have been struggling with Codeweaver's wine for some time now and I have run into a strange problem with the demo of Sudden Strike - when I start the demo, I get a choice between different resolutions and buttons for "start", "readme" and "quit". The strange thing is that if I click on the "start", wine gives me the "readme"! The

Hello All, I have just been reading the docs on Wine and came across the --managed Allow the window manager to manage created windows --winver Version to imitate (win95,nt40,win31,nt2k,win98,nt351,win30,win20) Does the "--managed" allow my xserver to take care of the windows? Also, if I set "--winver nt2k" then does this mean that Wine will look for the

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 (Cooker). I get the subject error when I try to start wine. I've tried the latest wine version (20010629) and the next to latest version. Same result. I've tried rebuilding wine on my machine. That's successful but error remains Anyone know what this is and how to make it go away?

Hello All, I have installed the latest Wine onto my Linux Redhat 7.2 and it seems to run very well for the most part. I can easily map a Linux directory to a Windows drive, but I actually have a need to be able to map a linux directory to windows subdirectory. About the only way that I can currently think of that might work would be to use a symbolic link on the Linux subsystem. cheers, Lonnie

Many useful Netscape plugins don't come in Linux versions. Is it possible to make my Linux copy of Netscape use Windows-compiled plugins? If so, how?

Hi, I'm working with a spectrometer at an research institute but they only have windows 16-bit dll to control the sprectrometer. The dll is documented. My question is: Can I write a linux c++ program that uses this dll with wine? On the wine webpage it says "Optional use of external vendor DLLs" but how do I do it? On a first glance I have also not found any hints on that in

Howdy Folks, I'm trying to run Cryo's Arthur's Knights under wine. I've managed to install using setup.exe, but when I go to play the game, I get an error message telling me to insert CD #1, even though CD #1 is in the CD-ROM tray and mounted. Any clues as to why I would be getting this message, how to convince the game that the CD is actually in the CD-ROM drive, or how to

Does Kid Pix Studio Deluxe run under Wine? An elementary school I visited recently was running that program on all their Windows machines, and wouldn't consider switching to Linux unless it was supported. winehq.com doesn't resolve in DNS for me tonight :-( so I can't check the database. I don't have a copy myself, so I can't test it personally. (Hmm, maybe I should get

When I run half-life under Codeweavers Wine, it says it cannot validate the cd. I tried cracking it under windows 4 times with different cracks, and they work under windows, but in wine it says my executable has been edited. When I had just plain wine that came iwth mydistro (suse 7.2), it worked fine. I have no idea what to do and what is causing this. Thanks! Matt

Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

Dear fellow Wine users, It was to my recent delight that I found that EndNote 3 will work usably under Wine. However, it does seem to display a slightly odd problem when certain keys are pressed. In essence, the problem seems to be that certain keys, when pressed, generate two keystrokes. So for example, pressing RETURN moves down two lines, pressing BACKSPACE deletes two characters, pressing

The installation of the eFax veiwer worked fine. No glitches. But when running the eFaxViewer it allows me to open the document and it displays it. But after a minute or so my xterm window get filled with the message err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 0207 for 20 bytes err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000 And the only way to stops this is to open up a new xterm and kill

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my application always crashes on calls to "kernel32.GetCurrentThreadId()"? Every time I call GCTID I get: - a call to UnhandledExceptionFilter() - producing an "Unhanded privileged instruction at address 0x40112584" message box (which I've never seen popup, I only know it happens because I'm reading the --debugmsg +relay output.)

FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock what's this, what's causing it and what needs fixing (I'll give it a look if it's needed) or is it just an old error that dosn't really need fixing (I can run almost everything I want to and the all show this error) just intersted Rob

Hi all, I recently compiled and installed a new version of wine (20010824). Everything works fine, but alot of command line options are missing. The options I get with wine --help are: --debugmsg name, --dll name, --dosver x.xx, --help,-h, --managed, --version,-v, --winver. I miss commandline options like: --desktop and --display. Are they no longer supported? Thanx for any hints, michael --

I keep hearing that Ian Schmidt figured out how to get Word 2000 to work under Wine. Well, his domain comes up unknown and all references I have seen on this subject hyperlink to his defunct URL. Has anyone out there got Word 2000 installed on W2K to work under wine? I'm using FreeBSD Codeweaver port but any success from anyone be it Red Hat, Mandrake, etc would be appreciated.
