Thanks alot Dimesio, that fixed it! I'll post a final list of what I did, as it may be useful to others and easy to find for myself when I need it: > > * install Ubuntu, I used 9.10 > * update it completely > * open the synaptic package manager - > and add ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to the repository > * install Wine 1.2 from the synaptic package manager, > it'll automaticly get the latest version (I'm running 1.1.41 still) > * install MS Office 2007 > * open winecfg and set winemp3.acm to native (& bulletin) > * install the K-Lite codec, Basic or Full, it makes little difference > * in the terminal, enter: > > Code: > wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks > > > then > > Code: > sh winetricks wmp9 > > > * have it install wmp9 and the required components > > everything should work fine by now, > but I got crashes when using mp3's. > > * open winecfg and remove msvcrt from the libraries list > * make a symlink called 'winemp3.acm' to 'l3codeca.acm' - > which is located in the system32 folder > * Open winecfg and set winemp3.acm to native (& bulletin) > > Done! > mp3's and everything else works fine, aside from some frame-lag when playing wmv files. the frame-lag on wmv files is no problem, but if you have any tips, they're welcome!
