I had a little trouble installing WINE and, becuase of that, tried several different versions. It turned out the sound trouble was not a WINE issue, but a devfs issue, so I deactivated devfs (devfs=nomount). I am using the latest RPM of Codeweaver's WINE with Mandrake 8.1. I've got Codeweaver's WINE up and running now. When I first tried this, I could type a win .exe file from the console and run it without typing wine [win_exe_name]. I could run a win exe from Konqueror by just clicking on it. That doesn't work now, with a new install. Did I set something up wrong? Or is there another version that handles the "autolaunch" by detecting the executable type and running WINE automatically? Thanks! Hal
