OK, when I setup wine I did the following, more or less to the letter: Installed MacPorts and all extras needed (Xcode, Xquarts... etc). In Terminal, I entered sudo port install wine. It did its thing, taking about 40 minutes and when it finished I added a couple other things. First I added cabextract via sudo port install cabextract, and then installed winetricks via the same method. Using winetricks I installed all fonts, most codecs (the install all codecs fails at one of the programs, I don't remember which). I also installed vcrun6, firefox 3, and vb6run. I also tried to install vcrun 2005 and 2008, but neither worked, both processes aborted. I believe I installed the MS Installer (msi2) and gecko for ff. That's about all I can remember. Other options I've selected under winecfg are: I have everything running in a desktop and my default os is xp (which I had to change with winetricks since XP and Vista did not appear in the drop down menu of the winecfg gui). I added three other things in regedit when I was trying to get battlefield heroes to work (which, incidentally, I never succeeded at). Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER:SOFTWARE:WINE:Direct3D: I added new keys for DirectDrawRenderer, OffscreenRendering and RenderTargetLock. That's what I have right now. And to reiterate, I can't even install the stupid program. When I run Autorun.exe, I get a window with music and three button options: Install, Preview CD, and some other thing that I don't remember. If I hit install, X11 freezes, and wine has a fit. I can't even run winecfg again until I reboot the entire machine, yikes. Ok, so there's a real mess for ya :P What do you suggest?
