hey guys! after the installation of the "T-Online Internet-Telefon" (http://service.t-online.de/c/12/70/42/54/12704254.html) finally worked (thanks for improving wine!) it is now unfortunately impossible to run the application. the terminal gives the following output: Code: whizer@whizer-laptop:~$ wine "/home/whizer/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/T-Online/T-Online_Software_6/Internet-Telefon/Phone.exe" fixme:userenv:GetUserProfileDirectoryW 0x94 0x32fda8 0x32fdac fixme:userenv:GetUserProfileDirectoryW 0x94 0x32fda1 0x32fdac fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (3000): STUB fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 3000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 3000 err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed err:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Load Failure while reading picture header (hr is 0, nread is 0). err:ole:OleLoadPicture IPersistStream_Load failed fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpWithDataSegs fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpWithHandleData fixme:dbghelp:dump_system_info fill in CPU vendorID and feature set err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 10 addr 0x40145312 if you have any ideas how to get this little neat program to work (it's the only reason why i still have windows installed!) i'd be really thankful! i'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on a samsung q35 laptop with wine 1.1.8 Intel® Core?
