Ok, I will give it a try. before I do, I just wanted to make sure I understand what you mean by fresh .wine directory. (Really, I mean Noood) If I clear the .wine dir, will that not mean I will loose all of the other stuff I have? It took me a few days to get the asset management software running and am an not sure if "Fresh .wine directory" will wipe that out. [Embarassed] I see the term "native dlls" used here and there. Does that mean using the .dll'd that come with the software? btw.. Thanks for your help.
