similar to: I'm a noob, what do I do

I am on a Macbook 4,1 with 4GB ram and X3100 GPU running 10.5.6, VMware Fusion 2.0.2 and CxGames 7.2. I am trying to get Runes of Magic to run, and I think it has something to do with wine. I tried installing and running this game in win2k, winxp, and vista bottles and all yeilded the same result (the pic). I am not running any additional commands to the application (-dx8, -noshaders, etc). I

Hello, I have tried to install Wine on my mac pro (leopard 10.5.6) but it did'nt work very well. When I wanted to run a windows applications, wine told me that I had to install Freetype 2.0.5 or later. I downloaded it from this website : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3157. Unfortunately I didn't install freetype properly. As a consequence, when I try to run an

ok I just had my windows hardrive attacked by viruses and now that harddrive is dead till I can fix it.. so I'm back on linux, and I would liek to play some of my favorite windows games on my linux machine (thus doing away with my need for the god aweful operating system in the first place) so, heres a list of Games I'd like to see be put on the fun todo list for attempting to get them

I decided the most secure way to deal with backup/firewall issues between my work and home was to encrypt a portable hard drive and make it my backup. Lug it back and forth and sync as appropriate. So I wrote myself a little rsync script which grabs all the files I think of as taking work to recreate. Which is given as follows: rsync -avl --stats --progress --timeout=300 --exclude-from

1. I am using the latest version of Wine on the G-OS distribution of Debain Linux 2. OK I read the thread on installing WOTLK -so don't ask if I have (please :) ) 3. I went the Blizzard downloader rout and installed via the internet because mounting and unmounting and the rest of the steps are confusing lets be honest. 4. It (The Installer) gets to the End User Agreement and I scroll down as

Hi, I got the perfect world mmorpg running well, except that the mouse does not show. What do I do?

I've installed darwine 1.1.9 on my mac. I've read all of the tutorials and forums that I could find but I'm still not able to solve my problem. I imagine I must be missing something that's so obvious that it doesn't even make its way into a tutorial. I can't run programs. If I start winehelper and try to run a program (say regedit.exe) I get the errors at the end of

I've installed wine, so i can play an mmorpg game called Astonia 3. So far, the game loads fine, except for 2 problems: 1) no sound 2) no keyboard input from everything i've read under wine docs, there should be a file called config - but i'm sure you know it doesn't exist... no /tools/wineinstall file either. i've installed wine from the rpm for fedora, and i can't find

Hi, total Noob here. I have a rails server set up and running. I''m working my way through the "agile" book. I see that all of the examples show URL''s that explicitly call for port 3000. How would one go about creating a ruby app that is engaged with a "normal" URL with no port number in it? That is apparently the default port for webrick to start up on

There is a 2d mmorpg that I play that is a spin off of Endless Online. When running this program with Wine, I have a couple of sound problems. First, it will only play one sound at a time from the game, and two, the sound drops out completely after a few sounds try to play at the same time. I've tried a bunch of different settings with the same results. I ran the game from the command line

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 32bits Core: i5 2,4ghz Video card: Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB Hello all, I'm trying to play a direct3d MMORPG game called Ragnarok Online (if you search, you'll see it's not a heavy game), but when I connect, I noticed slow perfomance, as if the game was working just by CPU. So I'm wondering if WINE is using video acceleration for it. I'm using

some people said its true to play games with the sometimes called "rootkit"-gameguard. > Gameguard should work with Linux, try the latest wine version or maybe the free cedega version. If wine can't get it to work cedega should, because it's optimized to work with the latest windows games, you can take a look at the list of supported programms at transgaming.com for cedega

How do I iterate through the pseudo-template list class containing wxMenuItem pointers. Am still a bit of a Ruby/wxRuby noob. Currently have this: pp mymenu.get_menu_items() which prints: #<SWIG::TYPE_p_wxMenuItemList:0x4634fa8> However when I try to do: mymenu.get_menu_items().each {|key| ...} it tells me there is no each method for this class (SWIG::TYPE_p_wxMenuItemList)

Hi, How can an xts object be subset using a date in a variable? E.g. in below, what is the right syntax for Q to get the same value as P? Obviously the syntax shown below doesnt work...

Hello everyone, I''m trying to wire a combobox in a view to update the database.

Wine changes dozens of files to run properly. Last week a user couldnt login anymore his Windows XP after doing that. Btw, as you say world of warcraft doesnt use registry and is well known to work on wine too by copying the whole directory. I suggest you to do that. Its just a few megabytes of disk space versus a possibly unusable windows xp. Kind regards, Sylvain Petreolle (aka Usurp)
