Thank you for your responses. What I found is that loading the following commands winetricks fontfix winetricks corefonts vcrun6 winetricks gdiplus winetricks dotnet20 and then loading program under the user's login seems to work. Haven't fully tested it yet. I'm not sure what wineprefix is or how one uses it. Couldn't figure out how to load the program files outside the C: drive either. But thanks a bunch for all the help....................... Al
