OK installing the vcrun2005 hasn't helped, screenshot is an example of the graphics issues I was having when I first started this thread. But I do get the same terminal output as before: Code: david@hunter-geophys ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Snuffler $ wine Snuffler.exe fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC" (8.0.50608.0) This appears upon starting Snuffler. No other error messages at all. Screenshot is at http://rapidshare.com/files/305485354/Snuffler_graphics_issue.png.html Will submit a bug report. Re: Vitamin's suggestion of vcredist - I couldn't find vcredist in the winetricks list, so couldn't try it. Thanks again.
