The original reasons Wine fails with native Windows are: a) Wine uses dlls from Windows. Native Windows ME dlls probably use a lot of new calls which are not implemented in Wine. b) imported registry could have some settings which confused Wine The goal of Wine is to use buildin dlls only, so you do not need microsoft license.

Just take care that buildin dlls are used if you do not have any specific reasons to use native ones (see .wine/config file for details). Remember, in this registry is not imported from Windows. > 3) I can't run a program that uses soundcard.

You can find documentation online here: http://docs.winehq.com See User Guide. This can also help sometimes: http://www.winehq.com/trouble Read the docs, post question to wine-users mailing list. I'm not very good in resolving issues with soundcards. It's possible you need go give some privileges for /dev/dsp1 if you want to use it. > 4) How can I change the appearance of Windows in > Wine (e. g. fonts, colors of > menus)?
