I installed wine on mandriva 2008.1 spring I installes a software called BeInSync. the install was succesfull but when I try to start the program I get a message that the computer needs to be restarted. restarting wine q booting the computer diidn't solve the problem. It seems as if the application don't recognize the restart and waits for the restart after the installtion. anyone has an idea ?

I could try to load the install files on the hard drive and load from there and see if that works. The problem is, I suspect, the reboot request will not leave. I just find it curious that on one it works but on the other it does not.
