This is about to drive me crazy.
I've installed it, and setup the virtul directory, but I still can't
get it to run a simple program like minesweeper.

Has anyone had any luck with this.
I'm not sure if it's actully mounting the /c file dir I've setup.
I think I have all the permissions set to 777, and the ini files
there I need. I'm kinda at a loss at this point.

Or is there a howto for dummies or something out there on the web?
 
that's usually the problem. i haven't played with wine muxh, though i should. winex is made or broken in the config though
 
I'm sure that's right. As I say, though, I never had a problem running the 97 or 2K versions of Excel or Word.
Wait, when I upgraded to Win2K I had to make a separate FAT 32 partition for stuff I wanted to share with linux. You do have minesweaper on a FAT 32 partition, right?
 
Yeah I run all fat32, for better compatibility.
I finally got it, with the help here.
I also found out the wine has an issue with the brand new Kernal,
so I have to tell it to assume 2.2.5. :nerd:
Code: 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 wine
before every exe.

I did have to mod the config a bit.

Thanks for the help.
 
Oh hell, I forgot about the kernel thing. I remember it now that you mention it and it's no help at all. :blush:
 
Aunty,
Don't run the proggies directly from the windows partion.
copy them to the virtual drive/dir that you create.
 
OK, thanks... I've downloaded it but haven't had time to install it yet as I'm suddenly in demand again!
