Hello Wine Gurus, I am new to running apps with Wine but have been moderately successful so far. I am trying to work with CraigsPalFree, a nifty app that allows the user to "power-search" craigslist -- sortable results, multiple locations, etc. The URL is craigspal.com and the download location is http://www.craigspal.com/to_download.php. Here is what happens (the order varies): 1. When I first start it, Wine reports that the app is trying to display web pages, and prompts me to install Gecko (which I do) 2. On subsequent starts, the app informs me that "CraigsPal wasn't able to connect. Reconnect?" (I say 'yes') 3. Black squares flash on the screen 4. I get an error OLE 8000FFFF 5. I get an "access violation" in module craigspal.exe if I try to choose search locations Any ideas? Does this look a familiar error from other apps?

Off hand, might try native wininet. -- -Austin
i gave it a quick try, first off it looks like it needs msxml4 (do 'winetricks msxml4). The errormessagebox still comes up doesn't seem to be fatal anympore. The error itsself seems to come from unimplemented stuff in mshtml. You could try 'winetricks ie6' to work around that problem. Biggest problem: the GUI looks terrible, so i doubt it's usable in the end. Good luck ;)
