Thanks for the suggestion. I did start the program with wine fabrique.exe &> log.txt then tried to print something and exited the program. The log file is empty! Did the same starting with winconsole cmd ,then starting the program, etc .. Once again the log file is empty. Tried to debug with WINEDEBUG=+print,+printui wine fabrique &> debug.txt The debug.txt is empty. Tried also WINEDEBUG=err+all wine fabrique &> errr.txt ==> empty file WINEDEBUG=warn+all wine fabrique &> warn.txt ==> big file WINEDEBUG=fixme+all wine fabrique &> fixme.txt ==> empty file WINEDEBUG=trace+all wine fabrique &> trace.txt ==> mega-huge file The warn.txt file is posted at http://www.quickfilepost.com/download.do?get=a894e43c29652ce8458d32bfa2414690 The trace file is posted at http://www.quickfilepost.com/download.do?get=d24e8d5698679010dc067dfe2fa0bcdc What else can I do ? Anyway, thank you just for paying attention. Charles
