I'm new to wine; I'm having trouble running this game, which has been reported to work previously, in the test result http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4050, with wine 0.9.24 under Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy". I'm running Debian lenny which has wine-0.9.44. Now I'm enough of a newbie with wine that I presume I'm using wine improperly (but not sure) and don't know whether this is the best place to ask for help. Please advise. (a) what should I try? (b) where should I ask for help, if not here? (c) which of these apparent messages are ignorable? When I try to ruin this classic game, at best, it gets stuck after the title animation. METHOD 1: The above test result says this doesn't work as of 0.9.24. It doesn't work for me either, with 0.9.44. using the command wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE" results in a message box labelled "T_LOVE95" containing the message "Register information is not correct, please reinstall". Also, in the shell window I get the messages hendrik@lovesong:~$ wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE" Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin c:\Program Files\Truelove\T_LOVE95.EXE ... ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 1 ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:1 fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART, disabling mixer Wine exited with a successful status hendrik@lovesong:~$ Are these ALSA complaints normal? METHOD 2 The test result reported that T_LOVE95.EXE works from a windows shell, specifically litestep. I use what I have available here, which is winefile. I try running it from winefile. I no longer get the message box. Instead, the program opens a window. I get a fade-in to a title page, then an introductory animation, after which the screen goes blank and the window stops refreshing itself. (If I drag another window over it, pieces of that other window remain in the dead window.) In the meantime, the shell window from which I launch winefile shows: hendrik@lovesong:~$ wine "c:\\Program Files\\Truelove\\T_LOVE95.EXE" Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin c:\Program Files\Truelove\T_LOVE95.EXE ...

I can close the winefile windows, but the only way to get my shell prompt back is with control-C.
