Hello, Yes, it is set to emulate Win2000. I read in the user documentation that the config file was disabled, instead they use the win registry from what they call it. One thing I also did was copying the entire c:\wineyes folder from my Windows partition into my Linux system. After that I tried running wine wineyes.exe but it didn't work either. Will try setting it to Win95/98 but with some help then. The other none free alternative is Vmware Workstation where you install Windows onto a virtual machine, but programs might become slow so I am not considering that. Also don't think it is accessible either.
