Here is my exact command I am running: wine explorer /desktop=1024x768 Gw.exe or wine explorer /desktop=1024x768 Gw.exe -dx8 It loads the program, runs through the update like always, then throws the same error. > > You probably want to hide kicker (in KDE) and force > no border for Wine' > desktop window (in KDE this is standard option for > every window in window > menu, don't know about GNOME).

I'm not really worried about the lenght of the command, so long as I get it working. As for the last part, I think I understand what you're saying about trying to switch resolutions, but I don't know what the default resolution it would try to use would be - in Windows, it would start in full screen mode, whatever size your screen happened to be.
