I've removed that Installation of wine and re-installed using "yum install wine" and the installation went quite differently. It may work this time; I'll spend the next couple of days trying it out. I entered the following: [gary@localhost ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/wineserver -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 404132 Jul 30 16:49 /usr/bin/wineserver Thanks Bye
