"John, thank you for your reply to my last post! I found the FAQ sheet, quite essential of course, and this led me to this filx":- To avoid having to give that same command every time you reboot, also edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf, e.g. with the command $ sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and change the line that reads: vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 to: vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 That will apply the workaround for you when the system starts. "I did this and rebooted with no problems. On trying to start Band in a box 2008 from both the terminal and the menu (This is no go) within wine I get the following":- bear@bear-desktop:~$ wine bbw.exe wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\bbw.exe": Module not found bear@bear-desktop:~$ fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) "Where do I go from here? (P.s. sorry about all this, I am not very knowledgabe regarding these issues." Regards, Bear [Question]
