Hi Ivan. This is just a thought. Check if you have the apps "dialog" , and
"whiptail" installed, which are used by the shell as a simple window for
configuring stuff. I don't know which distro you are using. With Debian, or
Fedora Core/Planetccrma, you will be able to look in synaptic to see if
they
are installed. Nigel.

Installed the programs you suggested, Nathan, and this did not remedy the
problem. Thanks for the assistance. Still looking for some assistance on
this issue. Does anyone know where libXxf86vm.so.1 should have come from.
Should it have been available before wine was installed or is it a product
of the wine installation. Thanks again for any assistance.
