I'm fairly new to wine. I'm running the version (Wine 20050211) that comes with SuSE 9.3. I had been using the version that came with SuSE 9.1 (Wine 20040213), and recently ran the SuSE 9.3 upgrade installation. Getting ready to try installing Word Perfect 8.0, I've been reading the help documents. I recollect a warning not to run wine as root. By mistake, I did so. When I did, it

I use Wine for the windows programs I created with Clarion (Topspeed) environment. After upgrade from Mac OS X Tiger to Snow Leopard, I can't input any text in entry fields, using English keyboard layout. When I type something, I hear the beep sound, no letters appers on the screen. I even can't paste latin letters text using shortcuts, and the context dropdown menu doesn't appear

hi all, I'm using the official wine-20041201-0.1 on Sue 9.1 (i386). I used winetools 2.10 to facilitate my wine installation and it was a godsand. I have installed Office 2000 and so far so good, but I like to extend my wine functionality just a bit more. I like to install Acrobat 5 (not reader) with PDFWriter on my wine installation. The problem I have is that, during the

My wine version is 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. When I start up eve on the command prompt the splash screen loads then it aborts with this error message: fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x9f0000 0 0x33fcac 4

I just got wine-9.2 for fedora 4. I wiped out my ~/.wine directory to start completely clean and installed the rpm. I took a look inside ~/.wine and there are no fake windows/dos drives at all. I ran wine without any arguments (checked manual, there seems to be only version and help, tried those later), and then ran winecfg. Still, there are no dosdevices at all. I looked in the newest

Dear All, is there a step-by-step guide on how to install PowerPoint 2000 with wine (I'm running PhotoShop 3 and UltraEdit with it, perfectly !) System: SuSE Personal 9.1, wine -version is 20040213-41. I tried to start the install with 'wine /path/to/CD-ROM/setup.exe', it takes forever and finally it returns with 'file not found'. The files are all there, expect that on the

Hi, i want to reorg my directories and move (and rename) some .wine folder to /opt. After moving and renaming the .wine folder some applications don't start again. A least, i found some .lnk files in c:\... with absolute user and folder names inside. I dont know if i misunderstand something or if something is misconfigured in my wine but until now i think that the C:\ / Z:\ devices are the

So anyway, I have been using linux for years now, currently Fedora 12, and just recently I opened a box and found several of my old windows games. Starcraft, Heroes, Age of Empires, Stronghold, etc, some of which I installed. Then I came to Masters of Orion. This game I figured my crappy netbook could handle, and I get a bunch of "??????????" s in place of the actual text in the

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

I installed VS Express and included the IDE in $LIB. It looks like wine is able to run 'cl.exe' but 'cl.exe' itself has a problem. We've tried a number of variations of setting %TMP% and %TEMP% to no avail. Any ideas. TIA.

I don't know if this is of any use anymore, but I've had the same problem and google did not have

I am currently running Skype version 1.3 on a Linux Mandriva 2006 system. It works well, but the Windows version is really superior, supporting several interesting features missing from the Linux version. So I tried to use wine for that. I am not familiar with wine (never need Windows programs, really) and I tried to use what had been installed by Mandriva. Testing wine, it's all right with

Just got Wine 1.1.13 on Ubuntu 8.10 tried to map D: to my Windows partition /dev/sda5 /media/DATA but Wine wouldn't keep my choice and reverts to /media/cdrom0. Found out that permissions for ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: were root only and couldn't change them. So I deleted d: & d:: and made new symbolic links $ sudo rm -r /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/d* $ ln -s /media/DATA

Hi all, I have trouble with making the symbolic link to the corresponding device node. I have typed sudo In ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 username d: -> /mnt/cdrom but it gives me this error : prawira@ubuntu:~/Warcraft III$ ln ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 d: -> /mnt/cdrom bash: /mnt/cdrom: Permission denied prawira@ubuntu:~/Warcraft III$ ln ~/.wine/dosdevices lrwxrwxrwx 1 d:: ->

I'm a newbie to WINE. I'm running WINE 0.0.20050211-1 with kernel 2.6.10 and the Debian distribution. I CD to /cdrom and issue the command wine install.exe and the Quicken 2000 install starts. I immediately get a message from Quicken that there is insufficient temp space to perform the install. I have no clue about how to proceed. If someone has a HOWTO to get Quicken 2000 working, that

I used DVDFab-8.0.2.2 with wine and ubuntu 10.04 for quite some time and everything worked pretty well. After doing a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 DVDFab didn't recognize my BD-ROM drive anymore. In Ubuntu 10.04 I had to wait until the linux autorun had finished and then DVDFab started to check the disc. With Ubuntu 10.10 the linux autorun finishes but DVDFab does nothing. I also upgraded

Anyone have an idea as to how to automatically detect the USB number and create a sym link in the dosdevices directory. The problem is that I have several USB devices not used at the same time, and when the USB to serial adapter is connected, a /dev/ttyUSB? is assigned. To use this assignment under WINE, I need to automatically detect /dev/ttyUSB? and then create a sym link in

I still can't seem to figure out Wine and how it works. I tried again to get Brainfuse Quick Connect working last night and had the notion that perhaps I need to get Explorer up and running. I've tried everything I know to get that file in Other to run but nothing is happening. I did get a lengthy error message. [/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe]
