I've been watching the appdb, and have been upgrading to each new version of wine ... I've tried running Cossacks through VNC (to get 8 bit colour), and I've tried changing video cards (twice)... all to no avail ... The two Bugs listed for Cossacks are still shown as unconfirmed ... As long as you rename the Video directory, it loads up fine - sound works great, input works great, but video is problem ... The screen is not getting refreshed ... Opening menu comes up, and although the mouse is actually moving around, it doesn't show it on the screen ... if you move out of the wine box, and use the side to "guess" where to move your mouse inside the box, you can actually click on menu items, and the screen refreshes with the mouse pointer where you last clicked ... if you work your way through the menu system like this, and actually start a game, you get this screen ... http://appdb.winehq.org/appimage.php?iId=16173 nothing refreshes, but if you wait you can hear the sounds as if the game is running - wait long enough, and you can hear yourself getting slaughtered. Does anyone have ANY idea what might be causing this, or even better, how to get around it? Derek
