First of all..
thanks for all the replies , I'm not alone in the dark...
then ..
It seems that it's not a problem of permission on the directory fake-windows :
"chmod 700 /home/bea.gr/.wine/fake-windows" change absoluty nothing
and my wine config are correct (it seems to be)
The problem is in the symlinks in the directory .wine/dosdevices/
before the change I made, two symlinks were wrong and seems to go to nowhere
(as I tried in the shell and kde):
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bea.gr users 29 2004-06-19 07:33 c: -> ../
${HOME}/.wine/fake_windows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bea.gr users 10 2004-06-19 07:33 y: -> ../${HOME}
then I recreated the links :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2004-07-02 23:31 c: -> /home/
bea.gr/.wine/fake_windows/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2004-07-02 23:34 y: -> /home/
bea.gr/
and it works now with no such that message anymore :
"Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not
accessible"....
I can launch "wine notepad" without problems
???? a reason for this ?
Bea.gr
thanks a lot 8-)
