I had no pb of username, but I was using a single user installation. With the current version of wine (stand alone, without windows installation), I have difficulties to run programs (including pegasus), so I cannot help for now. But have you tried to find where is stored the username and password ? Maybe wine cannot access this file or registry setting ? BTW, Pegasus store _very few_ informations in the registry, it can run just copying program and data folder from a PC to another, without further step Have you tried to run as single user ? (you will have t use pconfig.exe or to reinstall pegasus). It should solve your porblem. If you really need multi-user installation, maybe you could try to install Pegasus via Wine to the fake windows drive, and copy your mails folder from the old to the new installation ? If none of that results, maybe you could ask on comp.mail.pegasus-mail.ms-windows, somebody could figure out the pb, knowing where Peg is storing username information ? -- HTH Sebas _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
