Hi everyone, I am new to Wine and am trying to install Microsoft Alphabet Playhouse. The installer starts ok, installs the program, but then I get an error that says "Unable to load Microsoft Audio Compression Manager driver". I have been searching all morning and am no further than when I started. I am running Opensuse 10.3, and wine verion 0.9.44. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim
At firts, try and update wine to the recent version
Ok, I am now at 1.0 rc 4, which I believe is the most recent version. The audio compression error went away, and was replaced by an unable to load Microsoft Video 1 driver error. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi, Could you try with a more recent wine? There is a link on http://winehq.org/site/download for getting more recent releases of wine built specifically for your distribution. Also, any error messages you see in the console etc, would be helpful for diagnosing the issue. -Zac jimk13145 wrote:> Hi everyone, > I am new to Wine and am trying to install Microsoft Alphabet Playhouse.

Hi, I am at 1.0 rc 4 now. I am now getting the Video 1 driver error I mentioned above. I ran it from the console and got this: Code: wine setup.exe err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b92b7a0 "syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 0018, blocked by 001b, retrying (60 sec) fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub Thanks for your replies.

can you try with a clean wine prefix? mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old Then try installing the app again.
Ok Jeff, I did what you recommended, and got a different error. This time it says that it requires the Indeo codec by Intel. Console output was this: Code: wine setup.exe fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b92b7a0 "syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 0018, blocked by 001b, retrying (60 sec) fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub Thanks, Jim
then install the intel codecs using winetricks: wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks icodecs
Ok, I got the codec installed, but still get the same error about the program requiring it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help so far. Jim
