I have been trying for some time to run a British financial program, called ShareScope, under Wine. It is the sole remaining reason for me to run Windows, so I am keen to succeed. The developers of the program claim to have run it successfully under Wine, but they don't provide support. Since this is a minority interest, I realise that I will have to solve the problem myself, but I'm stuck ! My Linux system is Ubuntu 5.10. When I try to start ShareScope, it brings up the splash screen, and the blue bar starts to march across, but stops about half way, with the error message : sizeof(RADEONDRIRec) == 100, devPrivSize 100 fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4116 (SPI_GETSELECTIONFADE) I have been hunting the forums, and Googling for help, to no avail. Please can someone give me some advice where to look to understand this error message ? John French

Does this app somehow do 3D stuff? The second one, you can grep for in the sources. Daniel
