wine users - Nov 2009 - Sluggish apps loading in 1.1.33

After upgrading to 1.1.33, all win applications take ages to load. I really mean
it, as it may takes 4, 5 or more minutes to load even very simple applications.
With 1.1.32 most applications take at most 30 seconds or so to load.

It may be unrelated, but in both 1.1.32 and 1.1.33 I got this error message when
loading win applications:
"err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out".

Running it all in Mandriva 2010.0, and KDE 4.3.2.

Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix it? Or, is it a bug that needs to
be reported?

Try again using a clean wine prefix. Rename your current ~/.wine to something
else e.g. ~/.wine-old and try Wine again. It will create a new ~/.wine, registry
and so on. I think something in your old prefix broke.

Yes, there was something wrong in the old prefix, probably some bad register
key. The new one works fine. Thanks.
