I was under the assumption that I could just run the applications directly from my Windows partition, but clearly this isn't the case... appears Wine does much more than what I originally thought. It used to do that, a long time ago, but was just a heap of problems. We disabled changing the C drive in winecfg because so many people hosed windows installs. Treat Wine like a new windows machine. Reinstall what you need fresh. The advantage with wine is that you can separate apps by prefix, so you can semi-sandbox each application (registry/settings wise, file access is another story). > If other search and find this question look to item #3.1 on http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-72731b215bbd1ce36e3b84ac7ce114925ce16460 > > Thanks for helping!! > > > > > > -- -Austin
