All, This is a more difficult problem than it appears. I would like to convert the Windows registry that already exists on my machine over to Wine's registry, but I don't see how that is going to be done since Wine will look at its own registry and NOT the reg files on my Windows partition. Do I need to drag the Windows reg files (and what are their names?) to the WIne partition on my disk? Or run a converter program? I suspect that my many woes with Wine are due to Wine not knowing the locations of programs, resources and DLLs because these programs were not installed on the disk using Wine but rather Windows. -- John _____________________________________________________________________ web: http://www.computation.com/ email: john@computation.com _____________________________________________________________________

Or run a converter program? I suspectRead the documentation about wine.conf. Win95 stores its registry in two files, USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT. If Wine can see these, it will automatically read them in upon loading and merge the information with its own registry-database files, which are stored in plain-text form. -- DLL
