I have been trying to get the Personal Information Manager Sidekick to run on Wine and Crossover. Our company is trying to move over to ubuntu(still fairly new) and after two weeks of searching i have yet to find a contact manager with the functionality and flexibility of sidekick so we are trying to get it working in Ubuntu. The program runs fine but then instantly crashes when i attempt to save a contact or a memo. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Imo. Terminal Output: data-wrangler at WildHorses:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/data-wrangler/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/data-wrangler/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Sidekick\ 98.lnk fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100 fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00004100 data-wrangler at WildHorses:~$ fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA (0x33f90c,0x33fab0,0x33faac),stub! fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA RAS support is not implemented!

And there should be no need to use the WINEPREFIX environment variable for pointing the the user's home directory, it is the default. Something like the following: [code] cd $HOME/.wine/data-wrangler/.wine/drive_c/windows/users/Public/Start\ Menu wine start "Sidekick 98.lnk" [/code] Might start the program. Where is SideKick installed to? (Note to Users Moderators: This is a Windows98 program.) James McKenzie

If it's not latest wine-1.3.14 - upgrade.

Also try to configure your program not to use dial-up, and not attempt any connection management.
