similar to: Get the most out of wine ??

Hello, I would like to brainstorm an issue that has not be solved for about a year. Why am I here. Well I have been asked by many others to try and get any version of 3DsMax working on wine, I have picked Max 9 32bit. However the current release version from Autodesk is 3DsMax 2012 I currently use Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine version 1.3.37 and will stick with this release as I dislike unity. I

we often say here directx installation can break wine What about Dan kegel winetricks ? It is safe to install microsoft distribuable package or it may break wine ? What we can do, what we can't ? For exemple, when wine console tell us msvcr80.dll is missing, what is better or safer: - installing vcrun2005 via winetricks - copy the missing downloaded dll in system32 ? the both works for my

Hi all. I know I posted a similar topic before, but I think it's necessary to re-formulate the problem since it has taken a different wider focus. I'm trying to make some of my Windows apps to work on Linux which used to work quite well with Wine back when I had openSUSE 11.1 last year. Right now I'm focusing in one called DBabble. Back in 11.1 I used Wine Doors to download libraries

Hi ppl I need hel installing autocad 2011. I'm using wine 1.2.2 (ubuntu 10.10) I've copyed whole autocad DVD onto my HDD and started a setup with wine. Setup is installing fine (directx installation and everything) huntil it comes to part where it is installing autocad files - then the installation just stops and starts to undo itself like I've pressed cancel to install... Has anyone

Hello everyone! As one might think from my subject line this thread seems to be about the usual no-32bit-OpenGL-libraries-installed issue, that Google is full of when you are looking for a solution. My problem is a bit different: My system is 64bit, indeed, but the 32 bit graphics libraries/drivers are installed. 32bit native games like Enemy Territory run fine. GuildWars starts with the

I have been using wine for a grand total of 24 hours so am a little bit clueless, so please forgive me if this is actually something simple. I've installed wine using the commands from here http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks in the Ubuntu terminal and I've installed Winetricks, and I've got it to put in the three things from this post :http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=10959.

Trying to get use to using wine and winetricks, how do you know what is currently installed and what needs to be installed, for instance if i had wine default to WinXP or Windows7 etc ? Or does it not matter if its already installed and you install again using winetricks ? What would people recommend for the default OS as mainly i wish to use Wine for windows gaming and what would i need to

Hi. I'm trying to make a windows environment to ensure most programs work.

This is on OpenSUSE 10.3, Wine 0.9.60, with a clean wineprefix. I installed the trial version of Movie Magic Screenwriter 6. The install went fine. When I try to run the program it freezes almost immediately after loading. A box pops up telling me I have encountered OLE Error 80004001 and wants to send an error report. If I click ok, it opens Thunderbird and can even send an email, though it is

I've been working for a few hours to get RIFT running on my Mac Pro. I really don't want to have to get a full windows license to play the game so it seemed like a good alternative. So I pulled wine via macports (I did this today so I got wine-1.2.2). Then downloaded the game and got it patched (my wife has a Windows machine and a Rift account). This is where progress stopped. I find that

Huhu, I installed MS Freelancer via PlayOnLinux, but I have some graphics lags ingame/the game was redicoulus slow, I also wasn't really able to start a new game since the game hang up (kinda. It just didn't wanted to finish loading) One idea of me would be that it still runs in DX mode, how can I change it to OpenGL? On a side note, I have enough ressources to run the game at windows.

Folks I have a macro that fails in Word, are there any work-arounds, alternate dlls etc that can be suggested to get it going? Is there any forum dedicated to getting these going?

I am getting this error when trying to play Rift, which is odd I think because I can play WoW just fine. I installed DirectX9 and 10 via winetricks, but still I get this error.

I read somewhere that in order for a program to work properly in Wine it should be installed in a clean enviroment, something along the lines of one software conflicting with anothers drivers/runtime/apps/etc. Is this true? Does this mean that I can only have one program installed with Wine at a time? Can one not create several 'fresh enviroments'?

Abbreviated question: Is there a way to manipulate how Wine handles printing?

dear people, first of all I am a newbie when it comes to ubuntu, wine and everything, so this is a disclaimer in the very probable case that I ask a stupid question. The issue is this: I installed Rome Total war +barbarian invasion, which goes smoothly, when I start however the program asks for directx 9. what to do? I use wine 1.3.26 and Ubuntu 10.10 I tried downloading patches, but failed to
