James - I completely removed WINE via Synaptic, then re-installed it (version 0.9.57) then used your instructions: rm -rf ~/.wine and then wine notepad. If I use the winecfg in the terminal here is the result: bob@XPS:~$ rm -rf ~/.wine bob@XPS:~$ wine notepad wine: creating configuration directory '/home/bob/.wine'... err:reg:SCSI_getprocentry bus id line scan count error (fscanf returns 0, expected 4) Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled. wine: '/home/bob/.wine' created successfully. err:reg:SCSI_getprocentry bus id line scan count error (fscanf returns 0, expected 4) bob@XPS:~$ Then if I run winecfg in the teminal, here is what I see: bob@XPS:~$ winecfg err:reg:SCSI_getprocentry bus id line scan count error (fscanf returns 0, expected 4) In addition to the foregoing, there is a box that appears with the 7 tabs and indicating Windows 2000. I changed to Windows XP and clicked on the C:/ ...drive and clicked on 'autodetect'. It appeared to pick up my CDRom and Thunb Drives. But I can't figure out what I should do at this point. The written instructions infer that I should open any '.exe' file, but there aren't any that I can see. Now what? Bob [/b]
