I'm at a loss here. I'm not a wine specialist, and Baldur's Gate II worked fine when I mounted the CD before playing. The 'ntdll critical section' wait smells like a problem in the thread scheduling, so something deep in the core of wine. Sorry I can't help more. I've just started BG2-Epic Endeavours for 30 seconds in wine-20041201 (self-compiled) and everything went fine (even the sound :^) butI'll try to give it a longer run tonight. See you. -- Fabrice DELENTE E-mail : fabrice.delente@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
