In addition to my last post, I did what has been suggested in the recent test results for JRE in AppBD (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6626), i.e.: > It is necessary to uncheck "Allow Pixel Shader (if supported by hardware)" to run java software and > it may be necessary to disable Vertex Shader Support to avoid D3D errors which may prevent a Java software to start But none of these hints changed anything to my issue...
