Thank you. Winecfg and Notepad work fine. As do the installation windows of said games. The problems occur only when programs change the "graphics mode" (if this is the right word). This is a 32 bit system. I never had to fiddle with graphics drivers. Last time, I bothered with things like that, there was still a XF68config ... My unsuccessful attempt (due to obviously outdated information on the net) to generate an xorg.conf produced a file named xorg.conf.new in my home directory. If the contents of this file are in any way indicative of the settings of my X server: the first entry for the section "Device" lists "intel" as Driver. I did "rm -rf .wine" and for good measure "sudo apt-get purge wine1.3". I re-installed wine1.3 from ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa according to http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu. Both wine1.2 and wine1.3 from this source used to work in the past (with different glitches). I installed the GOG version of Fallout 1. The installation process run smoothely. However, after the installation window is closed, I have the following messages in the terminal from which I started Setup.exe: Code: wine: created the configuration directory '/home/egoge/.wine' fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0xe9e8fc, overlapped 0xe9e8e0): stub wine: configuration in '/home/egoge/.wine' has been updated. fixme:x11drv:sync_window_opacity LWA_COLORKEY not supported fixme:msg:ChangeWindowMessageFilter c062 00000001 fixme:win:DisableProcessWindowsGhosting : stub fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\Program Files\\GOG.com\\Fallout\\unins000.exe") stub err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),0,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub! fixme:wbemprox:wbem_locator_ConnectServer 0x132780, L"root\\CIMV2", (null), (null), (null), 0x00000000, (null), (nil), 0x33fc00) fixme:font:ExtTextOutW flags ETO_NUMERICSLOCAL | ETO_NUMERICSLATIN unimplemented (These, though, might involve also messages not directly related to the actual installation, since the installation program also started the Setup for Acrobat Reader (which I cancelled) and a first launch of the game.) I cd'ed to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Fallout and run: wine falloutw.exe The screen went black and became unresponsive for several minutes, until I switched to a tty and killed the program with "killall falloutw.exe". Switching back to the vt from which I started, there was no error message. Then I installed Wizardry 8 from an iso that I mounted in ~/mnt. Again, the installation process, from what was visible in the installation window, run as smoothely as if I were doing this on Windows. However in the terminal from which I run the setup program I get this message: Code: fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. err:ntdll:RtlDeleteResource Deleting active MRSW lock (0x1124fc), expect failure wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000001c at address 0x682845a9 (thread 0032), starting debugger... err:ntdll:RtlDeleteResource Deleting active MRSW lock (0x111bf4), expect failure I cd'ed to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sirtech/Wizardry\ 8/ and launched wine Wiz8.EXE. This aborts with: Code: err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Sirtech\\Wizardry 8\\3DSetup.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Sirtech\\Wizardry 8\\3DSetup.exe" failed, status c0000135 After downloading MFC42.DLL from the net and placing it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/, I try wine Wiz8.EXE again. This seems to start the program 3DSetup.exe which allows to configure sound driver and video renderer for the game as well as screen resolution. After just a few clicks I see a window that the program has encountered serious problems and aborted. On the console I find this output: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil) (thread 0009), starting debugger... Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00000000).
