Hi all- I am very happy to say that I have successfully installed wine and winetools. The only problem is, that when I try to type in hebrew in IE, all the characters come out as a kuf- that is the letter that shares a key with 'E' on the keyboard. English typing works fine. Has anyone seen something like this before? According to google, no. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks all.

Hi all, I'm writing because I'm running into some wierdness I can't find any bug reports about. So it must be me, I guess. I'm trying to install the Imatch demo from www.photools.com, which uses an MSI installer. I have Wine set to Win98 compatibility mode.

I want to be able to use Wine to reach the /home base partition or directory. By wanting such a thing, do I install Wine on the /usr directory or do I do that on home itself?

What do you find preferable? Installing from sources or installing from binary packages?

Hello there ? There were folks in the recent time running DC++ on wine. I'm also one of them, and I have a small problem, which turns out to be very annoying. The action buttons at the top of the main DC++ window as well as tabs at the bottom tend to show "tooltips" containing information about the last files to be hashed. However, there is an error somewhere that these tooltip

Hi all, I've installed a program requiring the use of NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro Display Driver. In spite of that, WineTools 2.0.8 and wine-20041201 did a great job in fully installing the program without pain, However, one critical component of the program needs the original NVIDIA driver so badly. How can I specify this driver in wine and/or Wintools, or elsewhere, when I have

Hi, I used some time ago the winetools package to configure wine older than 0.9.10 with IE6 and Office 2000. Updates of wine up to 0.9.10 where also succesful, so that I was able to continue the usage of MS Office2000. But since the Desktop changes in wine 0.9.11, 0.9.12 the old installation does no more work. ## My experiements to install IE6 and Office 2000 without winetools are not yet

I have achieved much of what I wanted to achieve using Wine, with one exception. I was hoping to be able to use Shockwave content, but despite installing Firefox and the Shockwave plugin, it does not work - it seems to stop after the promotional film before the actual requested content. I know there are "pay" solutions to this problem, but was wondering if anyone had found a free

When trying to install Microsoft Foundation Classes I find that winetools gets stuck on the mfc40.dll download. I can download mfc40.dll via my broswer, however. Where to stick this file, so that winetools can find it, and not need to download from dlldump.com? I'm on Ubuntu with the KDE desktop installed, if that matters. Thanks.
