Hello, I am running Ubuntu 8.04. off of an external HD. in the File Browser, Ubuntu sees the internal HD, and I can navigate to the Quicken executable.

Hi everyone! I am running Wine 1.0 on Linux Mint 5.1. I have a custom developed program that was designed in Delphi using the Borland Database library that will only run correctly if executed from the directory it is contained in. It will not run from the start menu nor will it run from a launcher that I have built on the Desktop. I figure it has to be something with the path referencing. I

I thought that I would be able to use Wine to play TF2 in Fedora 11, so I used this guide to install steam: http://fedorasolved.org/gaming-solutions/installing-steam-using-wine Steam appeared to be working fine, so I downloaded some games (TF2 and CS:S), When they were done downloading, I tried to play one, and the "Preparing to launch TF2" box came up. So I waited for a few seconds and

Hi! I am very new to Ubuntu and thus also Wine. I installed, uninstalled and re-installed Wine a couple times while trying out Wine and some third-party apps like Wine-Doors. Now my trouble is... I just installed 1.1.16, but my context menu entry for Wine is missing. Moreover, when I now select "Open with other Application" from the context menu for a Windows app, Wine is not in the

I'm new in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and pre-new in Wine. Apprently 1.0.1 is the latest stable release, but I can't find a way to get it by following any of the links on the WineHQ pages. I always end up at a page that's warning me I'll be downloading a beta version, even though I've clicked on a link that promises 1.0.1 All help welcome, but please don't point me to a tar.gz -

I persuaded my friends to convert to Linux, now they want Sketchup! They are the sort of people who would click on anything and I don't want them to get malware etc. Is there a way to make Wine run *only* Sketchup and nothing else? I did try searching for the answer but couldn't find one. Thanks

I haven't said much about this, but Wine's Internet Explorer has never really worked as web browser. I understand that the main purpose of Wine's Internet Explorer isn't to be a web browser, but to make Windows programs that require MS IE work. That said, one of the Wine 1.4 release criteria is "Builtin iexplore, Gecko". So I figured I should ask, "How functional

I downloaded Darwine stable 1.0.1 and installed it. I went to /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin and double-clicked on "wine" Then I went to Terminal and went to the directory for GTA2. I typed "GTA2.exe." The process installed GTA2. I went to /Users/brianlee/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA2 in Finder and double-clicked on GTA2.exe and only a weird

Hello. I've a problem running a few apps that are supposed to output some text in Russian, but it's not displayed correctly (instead it looks like text in the web browser when wrong charset is selected). I think these applications try to use GDI or standart Windows controls with non-unicode text in Windows-1251 Cyrillic codepage and it doesn't work. AFAIK in Windows XP there was

I have RTFM but it is limited on offering help when a problem crops up for a noob who is not a programmer. I DL and installed the WINE program on my Ubuntu 7.10 and can see it on the Applications. Selecting 'Configure Wine' brings up the 'grey' screen but nothing I do to it seems to function. I opened the terminal and typed 'winecfg' and stuff happens like: 'bob at

I am not sure if this has come up on the forums. I tried a search, but didn't find anything pertinent. I have a problem with sound in Wine. I am running Wine 1.0.1. My problem isn't with any particular game or program. I get very good sound when in a game or program, but if I am in a program under wine and then go outside Wine and start a sound program, like VLC for example, VLC gets

I'm trying get a couple pieces of software we use at work so we can replace a bunch of aging Windows machines with Linux boxes, but I'm having a little trouble. I'll start with the potentially easiest problem first. One of the programs I'm trying to use is Lightspeed Virtual Terminal. It runs fairly well with just a couple of glitches.

A few versions back, when one of my wine'd program needed to show an URL page, it (through Wine of course) sent that link to my default browser (Firefox) in Linux. It worked like this until version 1.1.35. Starting with 1.1.36, it pops up an IE window instead, which doesn't work on the URL and I don't want. Is there a way to reset its behavior so that the link is sent to my Firefox?
