Either that or a file that loads when you run through the fix process. You may also be dropping an environment configuration, something that Wine cannot control. Try the following: env > environment.before.reboot.txt reboot env > envirornment.after.reboot.txt diff -u environment.before.reboot.txt environment.after.reboot.txt If there are no differences, I'm out of ideas.
