wine users - Apr 2006 - Problem with app that wants to start a new instance of it self

Hi!

Having a poker client that I want to be able to run under wine.

It starts up ok, all configs and getting money from my account and so
on. Problem starts when i click on a table that i want to go to... The
app then tries to open a new window with that table where i can start
play.

But it does not work and instead there is an message saying that there
already is an instance of this app running on the machine. Exact same
message do i get if i try to start the very first poker.exe file twice.

Of course this works ok with windows. Looks like wine solves opening
the second window by starting a new instance.

My questions is then - is it possible to do some configs do get another
behaviour.

The app is the poker client from Svenska Spel.

regards,

I don't think so. A new window is just a new window, and is something
wine has been able to do for ages. I guess that either your app is doing
the whole new window thing in a very weird way, or there is a bug in the
way wine presents information about other running processes.

Can you give a link to a free download of this client?
