Wing Commnader Prophecy (multiple CD's) install doesn't give any problem (due to its small pop-up format window) and the game plays well until I come to the next CD. Game grabs full screen 800x600 svga. Pop-up window for second CD appears, but I can not switch with <Alt><Tab> to desktop. What did I already try? Read lots of items on this forum :D http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7181&sid=87c2e233ac33e4d682765103c4bb043a comes close to my problem. Started the programs in Konsole/Terminal Tried to set the Terminal window to a fixed size, but the game still grabs full screen. Tried with opening a Konsole window before starting the game in order to be able to umount/mount cd1/cd2. With <Alt><Tab> I manage to switch and do umount/mount, but I do not get back to the pop-up window to do OK. In the topic I mentioned above I read Code: method 2: divert your optical drive to several entries in WineCFG's "Drives" tab and use another "drive" for each ISO. I need some extra explanation on that. Currently I see in /home/user/.wine/dosdevices h: as my CD drive. My specs: wine 1.3.4 on Mandriva2010

Switching with <Alt><Tab> makes my mouse pointer disappear. So the cd-iso mounting I have to take now. I already looked to the commandline enttry # mount-o loop imagefile.iso/ Media/ disk". I have also seen AcetonISO being an Alcohol120% lookalike.
After some fidling around I managed to have my game in a Wine desktop of 1024X768 and with <Alt><Tab> I managed after a few tries to get my mousepointer outside that deskop. So I could mount my second CD. Great. The only thing is now that my game instead of full screen has a framesize of 1/4 of my screen. Good quality, but (too) small. Changing dpi only expanded the Load CD pop up, not the game itself.
