Hi Folks I have a Polar (heardbeat) watch which comes with a polarweblink windowssoftware. I managed to install it like this: Code: wine ./polar_weblink_2.4.11.exe wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks msxml3 msxml4 but when I klick the icon in the wine start menu from gnome start panle it takes about 2 or 3 MINUTES for the application to launch. At fist I thought it did not work at all and klicked it a couple times...time went by and al of a sudden I hat c couple polarweblink apps running. Now the tranfere is not working. It uses the mic an a "tweetching" noise from the watch. The mic seems to be ok because be sound-bar is moving. but ist just does not ranffer anyything. see screenshots [Image: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.0059c774ac.png ] (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?0059c774ac.png) [Image: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.418db9a766.png ] (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?418db9a766.png) I feel I must have something to do with the INITIAL SLOW startup of the application..since it used to work just fine on a prior install on that machine. Any advice to track it down is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance [img][/img]

How do you know the mic is working? James McKenzie
Don't run Wine as root. Remove your ~/.wine directory and reinstall it as a normal user. What Wine version? Do you have any off-line network printers configured?
same thing when run as user... no printers installed at all. [Rolling Eyes]
