Hi, I have the same system (except I use Mandrake 9.0). Have you installed WINE in "Real Windows" or "Fake Windows" mode? I'm using Codeweavers Wine 20020904-7 and my Windows folder is set to /home/julian/.wine/fake_windows The installation guide said to do it this way for Windows 2000. I don't have all the programs I want working by any means, but most of the smaller ones work. My suspicion is that WINE cannot handle the DLLs being in anything other that c:\windows\system and as Windows 2000 Pro (and XP etc) puts them into C:\WINNT\System32 it's having a nightmare. I'm using KDE and once I installed WINE I just created a folder on the desktop called "Windows Programs" and created Application Shortcuts to all the programs I wanted, e.g. in the Execute tab I browsed to "C:\WINNT\notepad.exe" and just added "wine" to the front of the path so I end up with: wine "C:\WINNT\notepad.exe" It works fine. I have a question for the group though. When a program fails I check out the error log and it's usually a missing DLL. If I copy all the required DLLs to my fake windows folder will this solve the problem? If so, how do I do it? I'm a new Linux user and I don't know how to make directories with a leading "." visible.
