If it's the configuration that's causing problems, have you tried winesetuptk? I use that, made generating that messy config file a very quick and simple task. Btw, WineX 3 is in beta right now. I've not tried it (not a subscriber) but I assume it will be more stable and compatible than the current release. Maybe worth a try. I do see, however, that Wine has a way to go before Windows can be extensively dumped by gamers. -Matt Bailey On Tuesday 22 April 2003 02:56 pm, you wrote: > Ok, I chose Wine over vmware because it is open source... and since I > like open source pholsophy I thouhgt it would be best...
