I'm running mandrake 8.1 and i installed the mandrake RPM. If i try to run: wine notepad.exe winreal keeps running at 98% CPU and nothing appears on the desktop, i let it run for 2 hours. I dl'ed winecheck form winehq.com and these are the results: --------------------------- checking Wine base files --------------------------- 001. Checking for file "wine"... OK. 002.

Checking availability of windows registry entries... OK. 24 tests. 0 suspicious, 1 bad, 3 critical, 0 failed. Wine configuration correctness score: 58.34% Now my question is, what can i do to make it run. maybe obvious from this, but i'm a newbe as you've probably guessed. How should i apply winedefault.reg using regapi? Much appreciated.
