anyway i decided to reinstall it all, and theres some good news, wmp9 doesn't crash anymore but it does give an error and it continues to look like it's playing the song but there's no sound and such. wont let me run in a terminal either Code: graafschap@graafschap-desktop:~$ wine start 'c:/Program Files/Windows Media Player/wmplayer.exe' fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
