Hey again, > I promise I'll improve fast. ;-) Google is your friend, so try improving your googling skills before posting. ie: google search the error you are getting; > Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a > socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded! > err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out I've turned up a number of threads elsewhere, about similar issues. I've onloy included a couple of them; http://kzar.co.uk/blog/topic/mac - try this solution. you will need to open a terminal to apply these commands. http://old.nabble.com/Meld-fails-to-start--complains-about-launchd-not-providing-socket--path-td23618152.html Launchd isn't providing the socket path, because by default it is disabled. (that appears to be your problem, anyway). NOTE: if /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist && /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist do NOT exist on your system, then you will probably need to build dbus using macports (as it provides these files). I believe this 'should' be installed though... NOTE: if using 'sudo' does not work, then instead of; launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist instead of sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist the -w argument from what i read is supposed to apply it for all users, and that is why you would use sudo. So if that doesn't work, applying the top command should work. cheerz
