Hello everybody, I have a problem with Wine: I can't write in the text areas ( the keyboard seems to be out of order, nothing happens ). That happens in "Notepad" for instance, but also in the text areas that allows you to write the keynumber which activates a next software...so I can't install new programs... Can you help me ? PS: I also tried to copy/paste the keynumber but it doesn't work...

What keyboard layout? Does a virtual desktop help? -- -Austin
I tried to change the 'Allow the window manager to control the windows' option but I can't click on the button to enable the changes ( it's too low, I can't see on my screen, I can only see the top of the button but when I try to click on it, AWN pops up and I can't click on the button "OK"). I tried to change the resolution of my virtual desktop but as my keyboard doesn't work, I can't do it... I also tried to type the key with the virtual keyboard but it doesn't work...
Wine 1.1.6 I'm not sure of what you want me to: do I have to write "$ rm -rf ~/.wine" in the "console" ( sorry, I don't know the english word for that ) ?
I have some applications installed. The most of them doesn't work but some of them work... What do you mean by "What is your locale/keyboard layout" ? My keyboard is an "AZERTY" type. I have SCIM-Anthy installed in order to write in japanese...but generally I use a french or french/european keyboard.. PS1: Thank you for the english course ;) PS2: Do I really have to type "$ rm -rf ~/.wine" in the console ? (this will remove the installed applications, will it ? Is it necessary ?
I typed: "$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak $ wine notepad " Notepad popped up and I have been able to write. Then I typed: "$ rm -rf ~/.wine $ mv ~/.wine.bak ~/.wine" And now it doesn't work anymore...
Sorry, I don't understand...can you guide me step by step ?
Ok. I understand now . I will try this tomorrow. Thanks.
