There were some messages, but they did not lead to a a fatal problem. But, to be sure I copied and pasted the output of Bryce 5.5 under WINE 0.9.56 , after which I downgraded back to WINE 0.9.55 so that I have a working version of Bryce, and copied and pasted the output again. Here is the output, from a text file as intermediate storage: > > WINE 0.9.56 : > > fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) > fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for 8000000a > fixme:imm:ImmGetDefaultIMEWnd (0x10024 - (nil) 0x11a290 ): semi-stub > > Meaningful output will only come if you build a special version of Wine-0.9.56 which has the names still in it. then the hex numbers start turning into function names, etc., and the developer can see what part of the code is failing. I'm trying to keep one testing version around on my machine at a given time. I don't have to 'install' this version. I can just build it and then run wine from that path instead of your main path. In your case you *might* want to two versions to see the differences. It's very easy to do this. Just download a tarball of Wine-0.9.56 from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77449 then build it using (I think...) these two instructions: ./configure make depend && make Do NOT do an install or you will overwrite your main version. Once done run wine from that location and look at the offending output. you may have to run it with some extra command line stuff but we'll talk about that if you need to and want to. Hope this helps, Mark
