wine users - Sep 2005 - Help, I get this Warning: could not find DOS drive ...

Hi All,

I just installed wine 20050524 on Fedora Core 2 (as root user). After some
config task, when I type wine (as root user) I get this worning message:

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory
'/home/paolo/wine', starting in the Windows directory.

I tryed to install mirc616.exe, all seem run ok, but still have the
worning message !!

Can I have some help?

Thanks

Paolo

I've never seen that warning before.  When you
installed, did you change the default .wine directory?

1) don't ever run wine as root, this is not needed and unsecure and will
give you the kind of problems you are experiencing.
2) delete your wine directory to be sure to get a new clean .wine
directory: rm -rf ~/.wine
3)type wine as normal user, it will recreate the needed directories
4)run wine whatever.exe and it should work

regards.
