If I install the program with the current wine version, it goes fine, and if I try to start it, I get a very similar and frustrating error (the last one): > > > Code: > err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -a > err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -r > ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory > Could not load Mozilla.

[code] su - [enter root's password] cd /dev/snd ls -l seq [/code] and report back what you get. DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT TO GET AROUND THIS PROBLEM. James McKenzie
