Hello wise WINE users! This is the "uncomfortable" first question from a newbie. After the first feelings of amazement when I see Windows apps running on my iMac, I then installed the app I needed. It installed ok, but when it comes to opening a form to introduce data, WINE displays an error message and I cannot use the software. For the little I can gather, maybe I need Winetricks for certain apps to run smoothly. Could you let me know what can I do to get my app running? The app is "Article Submitter Pro". All help is appreciated, thanks! Jon
1) Install a recent wine. I mean 1.2 or greater but preferably 1.3.3 2) Start the application from the terminal and get a debug log You can read the FAQ on how to do that: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4 3) If it is large put the debug log on pastebin.com and link here.

However, some of the problems related to the inability to complete form information is due to the lack of a function in richedit. Try using winetricks and select the riched20 or riched30 option to install the native versions of the richedit dll files. If this works, please update bug report 6254 to include this application as being affected by that particular problem. James McKenzie

If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If that doesn't fix it, post terminal output. (If it's long, use a site like pastebin and post a link.) http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
