thanks for the reply! I just checked my wine version, and it was 1.01! So upgraded it and tried again, but got another error: Code: home@home-desktop:~/Documents$ wine Gotx_Internet.exe err:module:attach_process_dlls "rpcrt4.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe" failed, status c0000005 err:module:attach_process_dlls "rpcrt4.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe" failed, status c0000005 I googled for it, but couldn't find much useful help. any ideas?
