Hi. I'm trying to get a program called Sony Vegas Video 4.0 working in Wine. I'm not the first one to try this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user/8815 Last time, the person got the program running but ran into two problems: the video preview didn't work and the menus disappeared after one use. I believe I have fixed the first problem. The solution to this is to set msvfw32.dll to native (you'll need to have a a copy available--it doesn't come with the program). The menu problem has really stumped me. Each menu draws correctly once--next time you open that menu it has no text, no icons, and is much smaller. The submenu arrows are drawn. My research on the Internet seems to indicate that user32.dll is responsible for drawing menus--something that unfortunately can't be run native. Am I right in the conclusion that I'm going to have to wait for Wine's builtin user32.dll to correctly draw these menus or is anything I've said here incorrect? It would be great if there was some DLL file I could set to native and be on my way :). I'm downloading a demo of Vegas 5.0 to see if there's any improvement, but I'm even less hopeful because I understand this version uses .NET much more than the last. Andrew

Where did that DLL come from ? I tried with various DLLs from a W2K install (and I remember having tried that one) but it never worked correctly.> The menu problem has really stumped me. > Each menu draws correctly once--next time you open that menu it has no > text, no icons, and is much smaller.

I should clarify, however: I have not tried it with an video file, just stills inserted into the video timeline. I assumed (perhaps fallacously) that the same routines were used to draw video frames as stills in the preview window. Andrew
