A debugger error usually indicates that Wine is not sufficient to defeat the program's copy protection (the CD cannot authenticate itself, even when perfectly legal-- it can tell that it's not running under Windows in some fashion, and that's enough to cause it to fail to authenticate). The usual solution is to find a no-cd crack and replace the program's exe with it as per instructions. I haven't gotten to installing SS2 yet, so I don't know if there are other problems, but I do know that you probably want to use the default emulated Win98 version-- SS2 even under Windows needs all kinds of trickery to run under 2000 (which I did try), and XP (which I didn't). So if you have Wine set to claim that some version other than Win98 is running, set it back, at least for this particular app. > > P.s. > How to I get adobe acrobat 6.0 to install under wine when its install keeps > giving me a "this version of windows is not supported buy the installer is > there a work around for this. Use the native version? Adobe just released Reader 7.0 for Linux. Or do you need the full package? That sounds like more of a job for Crossover Office; check their website at www.codeweavers.com and see if Acrobat is a supported application. Off the top of my head, I don't know. CX costs money, but I've used the demo, and it does do what it says on the tin-- meaning that it's worth the outlay if you need it. > > Thanks for the help > Hope this did :-) Holly _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
