Without this no one will help you because you have provided no useful information about your problem. Run something like konsole, xterm or any alternative you like and type "wine notepad" and press enter and see what happens. If it is working then WINE is OK. If not, you installation is broken. In last case read help or FAQ for your distribition, in first case cd to the directory with Windows program you like to run and try it too. If it doesn't work but notepad does, then we will see how we can you help you if you provide us your terminal output with errors. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
