wine users - Mar 2010 - Documents do not open when icon is clicked - Ubuntu 9.10

I have WINE installed.  I find that the only way to open documents, such as word
and excel is to open the application then go to File menu, select Open, find the
file and open that way.

This is not the same problem.  Mine does not say it can not find, it just ignors
the command to open.  If I open Word and find the file, it will open, but it
does not if the icon is ticked, especially if on a server or external drive...

Run winecfg with the drives mounted, and go to the Drives tab. Are all the
drives mapped to a drive letter? If not, click Autodetect; that should map
whatever's mounted.

Oh, I have no allegiances.  I love trying all the different offerings.  There
are lots of funky tools and capabilities in the MS Office 07 and 10, sadly WINE
can't work them.

No that did not work.  Now nothing is working.  I get an error "IOPL not
enabled" and "DDE failure" if I click a doc and the
"IOPL" message if I click an icon, like WORD or Powerpoint.

I'm going to un-install and reinstall WINE
