What kind of video card are you using? Wine 1.1.40 was released on Friday and is the most current version. The problems you experience may be corrected by that release. Yes, it is much easier to use Windows 7 as it was designed for the 'average' user. Linux has friends and it is very selective as to what friends it has. That's the way it has been since the beginning. It is not designed to be a replacement for Windows. However, this project will not move forward if folks are not willing to try using it and reporting problems they experience. Please file a bug report for the problem you experienced. Also, please be aware that Wine is a 'mostly' volunteer project and resources are limited. Thank you. James McKenzie
