Hello everyone, I am new to WINE, and it's abilities. I am trying to run a prep program that is designed for windows (obviously) and I am getting wicked errors. Sadly, the makes of the software have absolutely no knowledge of Linux. I got a direct x error, and fixed it via their solution. That lead to another error, and the vendor and I are working on this problem. I could easily install it on her windows laptop, but we are leaving the country for 3 weeks, and bringing my laptop. So, I need to get it working on here. I am in the process of making a windows VM, but if i can get it working on WINE, I would prefer that. link to error message (http://imgur.com/lamU6.png)

If this is still a problem in 1.2-rc3, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

The only time I had a hard drive failure (I had a Deathstar, but that was a known problem with that series of drives) is when I fluctuating power which was causing the drive to loose and then suddenly gain power.> >The only thing new I did today, is install the 2 programs required by CFE to run, and >tried to install a VM of win 7.

Good luck resolving the problem. I would like to investigate this, so I'll be looking for the CFE programs, if they are available on-line. James McKenzie
I spent some time going through all of this. I was floored and my resident unix/linux expert was dumbfounded this series of events happened. He said to the best of his knowledge, and he runs IT for a top 5 bank, these errors are not related, do not happen because of each other, and utterly amazed I managed to get them all at once. The gnome-power issue is easily resolved by uninstaling, and reinstalling. However, my HD saying it's full, with 70g spare, prevents that from happening. When I booted into live, it asked me for my encryption key, which i presented, it then said the drive was unmountable. I tried F13, F12, Knoppix, Ughbuttu, and Kasparsky's I checked my disk for errors, and it came out fine. I decided to reinstall, but the first time it crashed. I bugged thinking my HD was completely destroyed. Second time through it went no problems, and other than the kernal panic trying to get the terrible b43 wifi drive set up, I'm golden.
