Well I've dabbled with Wine on and off for about a year and quite frankly, I've never gotten Wine to work... in fact I've never gotten Wine to do anything--I don't know why I bother, I guess because sometimes my head inflates, and I just need Wine to tell me that yes tehre are some htings in life I can't have. So I went here: http://wiki.winehq.org/MSN_Messenger_webcam_support Didn't work... cashed. So I used wine tricks and installed a bunch of crap Google suggested. Now I get this: Code: genius@k-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MSN Messenger$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine && wine $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/MSN\ Messenger/msnmsgr fixme:wtsapi:WTSQuerySessionInformationW Stub (nil) 0xffffffff 8 0x32fb70 0x32fb6c fixme:wtsapi:WTSQuerySessionInformationW Stub (nil) 0xffffffff 16 0x32fb74 0x32fb70 fixme:wtsapi:WTSRegisterSessionNotification Stub 0x10058 0x00000000 fixme:appbar:handle_appbarmessage SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, hwnd=(nil)): stub err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered err:ole:create_server class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} could be created for context 0x17 fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub genius@k-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MSN Messenger$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine && wine $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/MSN\ Messenger/msnmsgr fixme:wtsapi:WTSQuerySessionInformationW Stub (nil) 0xffffffff 8 0x32fb70 0x32fb6c fixme:wtsapi:WTSQuerySessionInformationW Stub (nil) 0xffffffff 16 0x32fb74 0x32fb70 fixme:wtsapi:WTSRegisterSessionNotification Stub 0x10058 0x00000000 fixme:appbar:handle_appbarmessage SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, hwnd=(nil)): stub err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered err:ole:create_server class {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} could be created for context 0x17 fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub Help?
