Before that this ran fine. Hi Dan, if it works from a native install you are lucky. So why just don't stay with a 2004 release of Wine? Read my signature! 20050111 has several drawbacks as I already mailed these days: - Acrobat Reader 6 does not work - MS Access hangs very frequently - the Outlook splash screen is in the way and can not be removed by SplashScreenKiller - Outlook crashes when opening mails with attachments Excel worked good with WineTools installation but there may be other problems I did not get while doing my little test for the next WineTools release.
