Everything was working fine, then after an update, it no longer works. I am using Fedora 7. I am unsure of the Wine version. Any of the Wine apps cause the screen to blank when I start them. I can press alt+f4 to close and get my Fedora desktop back. How do I get my Wine apps to work again? --Tony
When I tried notepad from the terminal, the screen went blank again but when I closed the app with alt+f4, I get this message: wine notepad err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"mrtRate" failed to load fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))

Does $ mv .wine .wine.bak $ wine notepad Fix the problem? To get wine version, run: $ wine --version
I have version wine-0.9.56 Here's something interesting... I restarted my system and tried notepad and it started fine. I closed the app and tried again and got the blank screen. I restarted again, and was able to launch notepad once. The second time leads to the blank screen. --Tony
I just tried: $ mv .wine .wine.bak $ wine notepad No worky.
Sure, what site is that and how do I get to it? I have been doing updates via yum only. --Tony

I tried that already and yum reports no match for wine to update.
BTW, it has been working fine for several months now. Only noticed tonight when I tried to start Quicken. --Tony

Please look at the AppDb for Quicken solutions. If there is no solution to your problem, search Bugzilla for a prior bug report. If there is no report, please file one. James McKenzie
It doesn't matter which windows app I run first. It works once after a full restart and then that app or any other will not work again without getting the blank screen. Note: I have been running quicken on Wine for 6 months without a hitch so I doubt it's a compatibility problem. Happens with Notepad from the system menu as well. --Tony
