I have a program to use my mp3 player that loads fine but cant find the .vxd that it needs to communicate. How can i force wine to preload it, and possibly the .dll in the dir, so the program can find it. I'm new to wine so nothing to cryptic please :) Thanks A. Evans

Wine will load builtin VXD's where someone has taken the trouble to figure out what the particular VXD does and implement that function using *nix function calls, but to just load any old windows code and turn it loose with the power to wreck your system, I don't think we want to do that. Wine is not windows, and it aint win4lin either. Lawson >< Microsoft free environment This mail client runs on Wine.
