If the fake_windows is W98, can't you just run Dreamweaver under W98 emulation mode? Wouldn't that make more sense? W98 mode works much better than W-ME in terms of completion and function, I believe. > I am interested if anyone with Mandrake 9.2 has been able to get Dreamweaver > MX working and if so, what wine version you have and your config file if > possible.

Maybe using emulation of an older supported Windows version would help. You may also want to look at the August release of Wine, if you can get it to compile. Good luck. Hope I helped. -Michael Chang _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
