Greetings all. I have been running Wine under Kubuntu Feisty for about the last four months, keeping it updated with the latest wine releases on a weekly basis, I use it to run WordPerfect. Whilst WordPerfect didn't run flawlessly, I got it to work well enough to edit and save documents I work on at home. In four months none of the updates to Wine changed anything in how WordPerfect worked. Then a few weeks ago I upgraded Kubuntu to Gutsy by reinstalling everything from scratch, I also inmstalled Wine off the disk which was wine version 0.9.46. What a difference that made! The improvements to how WordPerfect worked was impressive. Now other software I use at the office also installed and worked nearly flawlessly (Timeslips 2005). Before (up to version 0.9.50 it would not install under Feisty). Strangely I passed through version 0.9.46 under Feisty without noticing any evidence of this impressive improvement. Then I added the wine repository to my weekly updates and upgraded Wine to 0.9.53. WordPerfect and Timeslips still work as before but now Wine has changed the screen resolution of Windows applications to 800 X 600 and it removed all the Wine menu items off the KDE menu, only the links to the software remains. Also the windows applications dialogue windows does not display everything that should be on them - for instance the OK/Cancel/Back buttons are invisible but they are there outside the box - if you can estimate where they are you can still click the unseen OK button. Now I want to uninstall all the M$ Windows software and do a fresh reinstall to see if that will resolve the problem, but with upgrade to 0,9,53 Wine also removed itself from the KDE menu, leaving only the links to the windows software. I have tried removing and reinstalling wine with adept and it had no effect. My questions are the following: 1. Must I re-install the windows software with every wine upgrade to get the benefit of wine improvements - or was the change due to something in Gutsy? 2. How do I get the wine options back onto the KDE menu? 3. How do I *completely* uninstall the windows software using the comand line? I don't want a trace of the windows software to remain so that I can do a clean re-install from time to time. 4. How do I change the screen resolution under wine back to something that's more functional? Thank you. -- Regards, Lex _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
