Hi, I'm new to Wine, and Linux also, so I'm not too sure about things Wine related. I am trying to run a small SMS text message program that allows use of web texts from web sites on desktop without the need for a browser. Only thing is, it starts up as a tray icon type program and when I double click on tray icon I get a pop up error message saying: "ShAppBarMessage returned false when trying to find the Task Bar's position." I can post image if needed. I'd be very grateful if you can help. Many thanks. :) [/img]
My apologies, I forgot to mention I'm using Opensuse 11.1. Cheers. :)
What version of Wine are you using, and is there any output if you run the program from a terminal?> "ShAppBarMessage returned false when trying to find the Task Bar's position."This may have been fixed in Wine 1.1.11. Wine now lies about the Task Bar position rather than failing (Linux has no real concept of a "Task Bar" so it can't be implemented properly). If your Wine version is older than 1.1.11, try upgrading. -- Vincent Povirk
Hi Vincent, Thanks for your reply. I checked Yast in my Opensuse 11.1 and it says the version of Wine I have installed is 1.1.9-1.11.1-i586. Is this an older version? I think I got it from the Opensuse repository, which isn't always the most up to date. Thanks again.
Thanks Vincent, Installed latest version of Wine and program operates fine on screen. The only problem I have now is it doesn't connect to internet when sending a text mesage. Is this a problem with Wine or elsewhere? Many thanks.
