Hello all, I have installed Wine on Opensuse 10.3 and it works great. I need it to use a historical research program where the utility is on the C:/ drive and the data on the D:/ drive. So, the program works on a very old Window 98 computer and in order to use it, the CD with data on it must be in the CD drive. I installed Wine, copied the all the files in /home/me/.wine/c_drive/windows/ according to the install.log file that is present on the old windows 98 computer. When running the programm with wine, the programm launches, BUT, it asks me to insert the CD in the drive. But the CD is in the drive! So I tried to change things by running configure wine, and indicating that D:/ is on /home/me/.wine/d_drive Without success again! Does anybody have a clue why the program doesn't know where to find D:/ when running on wine? Many thanks in advance, Thiebo

So what version of Wine are you using? If it's older than 1.2.2, it's no longer supported here.> So I tried to change things by running configure wine, and indicating that D:/ is on /home/me/.wine/d_driveThat path is not correct. In current Wine you should just click Autodetect with the CD already mounted in the drive and it should add it with the correct path.
sorry, the version of Opensuse that I use is 11.3. The latest version. When I do autodectect, Wine assigned /home to D... So I did it manually : /media/NEW, which is the CD and to which Wine assigned drive E. So I changed all this. Clicked again on autodetect, and D:/ now is /media/NEW so that should be fine. But my program still asks me to insert the CD. Is it necessary to reboot the computer upon each change made to Wine? Thanks !!
OK so I did reboot. Same problem persisted. And then I checked in configure Wine and Wine assignes both D and E to /media/NEW Can this be the origin of the problem ?

This is ALL files on the media.> >Is it necessary to reboot the computer upon each change made to Wine?No. It might be necessary to restart wine. Close all windows and issue wineboot or wineserver -k in a terminal window. You will need to start the program again. James McKenzie
