Frankly, I was surprised by what was really meant by some of the errors. I had misunderstood some of them before running that utility. I will try to find two posts I sent to the WSLinux list in which I go through the entire winecheck on my system and send them to you off-list, because they're kind of long (well, not kind of. They're really long). Critical stuff in the configuration file is identified by winecheck among other things. I compiled the July version from source and that's when I found winecheck. Incidentally, I had no problems whatsoever in doing that compilation. Even at 57% correctness (of wine installation), basic applications like Notepad and Solitaire worked.> Can I see a config?

I've tried changing it to my \WIN95 and it still bombs.I found that in order to get the registry to load and work correctly, I had to change "SaveUpdatedKeysOnly" in config to "N" from "Y". I ran "regedit winedefault.reg" then. It gave me an error, but it installed a complete registry. I then change the "SaveUpdatedKeysOnly" back to "Y" and everything was fine. I want wine to write to its own registry. I don't want it to write to my real mswin registry.> XWine - isn't that the same version that ships w/ TransGaming?Nope. You're thinking of WineX. XWine is a GUI frontend where you can press a few buttons and configure wine to work the way you like. I have WPWin9 configured to run as a win98se app with a few native (meaning real win98se) dlls. WSWin2 (WordStar for Windows) is configured using all wine defaults except that it likes a win95 configuration. I couldn't figure out what to do before I saw what XWine did. Now, I may or may not bother with XWine in configuring an app, I may just open joe and do it directly.> I'll try the version you spoke of.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing that your mswin app won't work. In the case of Eudora and Sidekick, I ended up finding replacements that I like much, much better. I fought that the whole way and then kicked myself that I didn't change them sooner. deedee -- Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see the WordStar Users Group http://www.wordstar2.com/cbabbage/wordstar
Glad to see all hope is not lost. I've tried both the real partitiion as well as the fake one. Running kernel-2.4.21.0.13-1mdk glibc-2.3.2-13mdk I've tried recompiling. I keep thinking there is a basic incompatibility. Can I see a config? Would you mind? Maybe I can find something in there. I've also noticed that the default registry files contain references to the \WINDOWS directory. I wonder if that has to be updated. Or if there is a reference I'm missing. I've tried changing it to my \WIN95 and it still bombs. XWine - isn't that the same version that ships w/ TransGaming? I'll try the version you spoke of. Any further information you can provide would be VERY much appreicated. I'm trying to get to the point where I can use my Windoze apps w/o having to boot into windoze. I miss my CD Label printer, and my PowerDesigner. :( Thanks. Shamim Islam BA BS deedee (deedee@writestop.com) wrote:> >On Friday 10 October 2003 12:12 am, Files wrote: >> Hi.

Nothing else comes close. I've even maanged to teach it new languages. As for CD Labels - I have "Sure Thing" by Microvision. I haven't found anything under Linux that does CD labals at that level yet. I've looked and looked and looked. If you have suggestions to try for either, I'd give it a try. But I still have a bunch of games that would be nice to be able to run. If I could only start by getting notepad up and running. I'll wait to see the stuff you said you had though. Thanks.

HELP!!!! Can't seem to run Wine under Mandrake 9.1/9.2
Could you please provide logs/configuration file or other ? The only valuable information we have at the moment is 'nothing works, even the included applications'. Please follow instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/bugs if you want effective help.>Glad to see all hope is not lost. > > Running > > kernel-2.4.21.0.13-1mdk > glibc-2.3.2-13mdk > > I've tried recompiling.
