Wine isn't perfect, and it doesn't do ActiveX all that well. You can try using DCOM98, which there is a guide that goes over this here: http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/xap400/gware_wine.html (Yes, the guide is also more stuff, but the DCOM98 parts apply universally) You can also run a Google Search to see if anyone has had any problems with this game under Wine before. Finally, you can try reading the Wine User's Guide. It is available as a PDF here: http://ftp.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/docs/wine-user.pdf If all else fails, you can try the next version of Wine. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
