Ok. I can get the custom compiled tarball to work. Maybe there was something wrong w/ the original Mandrake configuration via the RPMS. I don't know. I *did* have to change the registry entries so that it wasn't looking for \\WINDOWS\\ since my Windows directory is \\WIN95\\. I will be trying the RPMs again (since installed all of wine into /usr/local/wine, I can do this). BUT, the TWO really big issues I have right now are: The programs opened seem to be marked "Stay-On-Top" - is this because I'm running them from XWine? Will this go away if I don't use XWine and do it straight from the destkop icons? I can't seem to find my printer, even though the printer settings are correct in my config. The windows program isn't seeing them. Any insight into either problem would be appreciated. :) Thanks Shamim Islam BA BS

Wine locates the main DLLs using the path in /etc/ld.so.conf, and other DLLs with the environment variable WINEDLLPATH. There are ways to use two Wine installations, but I don't actually know how to do it. Otherwise you run the risk of mixing executables and DLLs, which can cause flakely problems.> BUT, the TWO really big issues I have right now are: > > The programs opened seem to be marked "Stay-On-Top" - is this because > I'm running them from XWine?

Wine should automatically configure printing of you are using CUPS.

Accident. My browser kept quitting on me. Didn't realize I had sent it 3 times until a half hour later when the messages finally came back through my mail server. Sorry.
