You'll then see the Crystal.dll file.) Older versions of Windows may require a copy of the msvcr71.dll file in the system32 folder. You can obtain that file here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71 http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/download.html At least they had some instructions and a pointer to the dll file. That's not such bad support really. I'm guessign that you would not agree with their system32 instruction? Thanks for your help! - Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
