Hi, I have shifted to linux fews months ago with a great satisfaction and i don't want to use windows anymore. But... i need to use a windows program protected by a dongle. I had tried wine without succeed to run it, so i tried virtualbox but it does not support parallel port, so I'm back to wine !. The problem is that the dongle driver cannot be installed, it returns me : Installing the Device driver failed, the error message is : Failed to query processes accessing the driver Failed to query the registry I can also use shell command with options like: wine HINSTALL.exe -option I have tried some option without success. But a different message appear when i have tried like this : Failed to write the hasp value in the DOS devices key in the Database Registry Failed to open registry0x200200a 0x10001 0x2 despite the error, the -info option returns that the driver is installed !. But my program refuses to run and returns HASP device driver not installed (-100). So i'm stuck! I'm a beginner in Linux and of course with wine. Is there any solutions or tricks to go ahead ? driver HASP 4.81 Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Wine 1.0 Thank a lot, Frank
