Yes, it still happens. However, I now get some additional messages, then again 30sec wait and the kernel boot timeout: Code: :~> wineserver -k :~> winecfg err:module:import_dll Library ksecdd.sys (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\uigxrdr.SYS") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\uigxrdr.SYS" failed, status c0000135 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out Not sure what that means.
