[quote="vitamin"][quote="storkus"]Is this concrete evidence that this program is tainted with DRM, or was my WINE installation just screwed up?[/quote] Most likely one of the new regressions in Wine.[/quote] I doubt it's a "new" regression since, as I mentioned at the beginning, I tried versions 1.0, 1.1.3, and 1.1.16, all to no avail--yet it magically worked with Crossover. Daemon: I'll try that, or (more likely) the "unshield" program referred to by that. I'll post here again later with the results. Thanks again! Mike
