dimesio, thanks for your help. I have #yum update trying to reinstall the video drivers, is this correct? Changed the HW_OK to 1 in regedit, even though it is said to be fixed as of 1.3.18 mine was set at 0. Confirmed that the package installed is wine (x86_64) and that no 32 bit versions are around. coded: env WINEARCH=32 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine and env WINEARCH=32 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 and tried with and without the internet connected. None of this changed the response trying to load SU. Assuming I did each right. I am reading on everything you have suggested and learning a lot. Dave.
