I'm trying to play Zillions of Games <http://www.zillionsofgames.com/>
under Wine 20020122 on a Debian 2.2 (potato) setup. When I attempt
Internet play, the game does not list any service providers, and I get
the following messages:
fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID
{5959df60-2911-11d1-b049-0020af30269a}, hres is 0x80040154
fixme:mci:MCI_LoadMciDriver Couldn't load driver for type ALL.
If you don't have a windows installation accessible from Wine,
you perhaps forgot to create a [mci] section in system.ini
err:dplay:DirectPlay3AImpl_EnumConnections : no service providers?
fixme:mci:MCI_LoadMciDriver Couldn't load driver for type ALL.
If you don't have a windows installation accessible from Wine,
you perhaps forgot to create a [mci] section in system.ini
Wine exited with a successful status
I have an MCI section in my system.ini file. It is not a firewall
problem, because I see nothing in my logs. I have been having this
problem for over a year, but according to the Wine Weekly News,
Wine DPLAY has been able to load service providers since August 2000:

Could someone point me in the right direction, please? Is this
in fact a Windows problem? Do I need to register service providers
somehow?
Thanks...

The main problem remains: I cannot connect to the Internet with the game (Zillions of Games). The following post discusses a similar Wine problem ("Unable to initialize network provider") with Starcraft, and suggests that a workaround is to run the game as root. Much as I dislike this for security reasons, I tried it anyway, but even when running Zillions as root, I still could not connect. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=pan.2001.12.03.01.48.36.468612.20196%40nobody.com Any other suggestions from the Wine community? TIA.
