Dave, thanks a lot for your hints, I discovered a couple of gdiplus.dll's on my XP installation, took the youngest and put it in my .wine/.../system32 folder, adjusted the winecfg - and unfortunately nothing changed so far... Crypto, just tried vsthost and it seems to do what it should do *lol* - so I've got a solution so far. thanks a lot guys :-) Susanne _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
