wine users - Aug 2008 - Error after upgrading kubuntu

Hi there,

I recently upgraded my kubuntu system to 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron), and one of the my
data collection software under wine gives me this error every time I run it.


Code:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b92b280 "syslevel.c:
Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 001c, blocked by 0019, retrying (60
sec)

Previously, my kubuntu version was 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and this program (called
DataStream) worked fine.

I googled "err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection" for solution and
found a few posts.
Such as this one, 
http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=74&iVersionId=315&iThreadId=13763
I don't know what they mean by "switching to OSS or try driver
emulation"

None of any other posts seems to give a solution.

I have not yet tried anything to fix this myself.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks.

Run the "winecfg" application, and in the audio tab, try some
different settings. To install OSS, i believe the package that wraps OSS around
alsa (so you don't have to have OSS AND alsa installed) is
"alsa-oss"

So, execute "sudo apt-get install alsa-oss"
Then run winecfg and fiddle with the settings, try emulation etc. You'll
also have to restart winecfg after changing sound engines in order for sound to
be tested correctly.
