Greetings All, I recently installed SUSE 11 64 bit and Wine v1 and have run into a strange problem. Most of the Windows applications that I try to run fail DLL loading if the application is installed on a FAT32 formatted disk. If I copy the application files to an EXT2 formatted partition, Wine will run these applications without any problems. Prior to installing SUSE 11, I was running SUSE 10.3, and these applications ran fine from the same FAT32 drives. Is this a known problem? Aside from moving the applications, is there something else that can be done? Here is the error message while trying to load Quicken: err:module:attach_process_dlls "QDB.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"E:\\CommonC\\quickenw \\qw.exe" failed, status c0000005 Other applications give the same message with different DLLs failing to initialize. Thanx in advance. Rich

Consider Wine another installation of Windows. Of course you're not going to get programs you didn't install in Wine to run as expected. -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

When I encountered this error, I even re-installed (with the same results). As I indicated, just copying the previously installed application's directory to an EXT2 partition allowed it to run, so I don't this this is an installation issue. vitamin wrote:> > Yes there are few known problems with vfat partitions.

I've also been encountering random Wine crashes (segment faults?) that I cannot identify any specific actions that cause them. What is puzzling me is that the older SUSE/Wine combo worked fine. I don't know if this is the fault of the newer kernel, the newer Wine version, or some interaction between the two. Unfortunately, the solution appears to be to return to SuSe 10.3 and Wine v 0.9. I guess the latest versions are not always the better versions... Rich
