Has anybody else experienced a problem with Wine renaming the Windows Program Files folder to !$!$!$!$.pfr and (seemingly) creating another empty copy of Program Files elsewhere. I have experienced this problem twice while running two different versions of Wine (the last one CodeWeavers 20010305-1). Naturally, Windows takes exception to this and won't run. The information I have is :- Linux Version is Mandrake 8.0 Wine will install OK Wine will run a simple test application like Notepad.exe OK Sometime while trying to run an application the renaming will occur. Hardware is an AMD Athlon 800 I deduce that Wine is the culprit because it has happened only twice and both times I was running Wine. I understand that this is not giving anybody much information to go by but I need some assistance in getting the correct troubleshooting information and I don't want to keep messing up my Windows installation all the time. If anyone can give me some guidance on how to get debug information I'll set it up and try wrecking it again.

IIRC it was always running Windows Explorer.>I understand that this is not giving anybody much information to go by >but I need some assistance in getting the correct troubleshooting >information and I don't want to keep messing up my Windows installation >all the time.
