2D Speed? I think 256 color support is more important. Sonic CD in Linux must happen! /sarcasm, slightly...I miss Sonic CD... [Crying or Very sad] Really though. the fact that I can buy some Windows 98 games at goodwill for 99 cents and know they will run in Linux is astounding. I just bought Heretic 2 for $2 and it runs perfectly.

So Wine's main problem right off the bat, the big elephant in the room nobody really talks much about, is that its *apperance and performance in 2D apps is abysmal. It's odd, because 3D apps (after a small framerate drop) perform just fine. Maybe there's some technical explanation as to why 2D applications feel so sluggish by comparison, but that's not what I'm here to discuss.

I have a problem when installing applications from a Samba share. I have been using this share for sometime with no problems, but now after installing 3.0.6 I have an issue.

The Samba log show it is looking for the file

Hopefully somebody has info on this topic. I have just installed Wine on OpenSuse 11.1. I've tried to install MSOffice 2003 but when double clicking on setup.exe nothing happens.

Dear fellow wine users, I have some questions. 1) First of all I would like to know if there is a message archive for the older messages and where can I find it. 2) Another question is about wine and xserver stability. Every time when I run MSWORD97 on the latest wine or on the codeweavers wine-1.0-preview3 and I load a Document with more than one page and I scroll trough the document my

Ist there a possibility on MacOSX to import Graphics into MSOffice Applications and resize them there without decreased quality?

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to getting my ERP package to run. GRRR. Latest version of Codeweaver WINE, just downloaded yesterday. IE works, MSOffice works well - no icons, but still runs, including JAVA. So, WINE seems to work OK. The program is a Delphi EXE, using the BDE. I can even run BDEADMIN, but when attempting to login to the database, there is a lot of disk churning (indicating I am

Hi there. I'm new here, and is the first time installing wine. My question is very simple: can I run MsOffice 2007 (Word, PP, Excel) with wine? How? Can you give an easy step by step tutorial? Thanks

Hi, Rails 1.2.6 on Linux, WEBrick. Most of my users run IE 6, and some of them have MS Office plugins that send bogus requests, causing routing errors like this: ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match "/MSOffice/ cltreq.asp" with {:method=>:get}): They''re harmless, but I''d like to just send these to the bitbucket rather than have them fill up my

Dear friends: I am pleased to say that I successfully installed Internet Explorer Sp1 on my Linux (Scientific Linux 4.0, which is based on RHEL 4) using Wintools. After installing IE6, I thought installing WordView (the Word97 word view program) would be a snap. But instead Wintools failed to install it in several attempts. It started, downloaded the file and tried to install it. But at
