how to configure new wine version
The previous version of wine used winecfg. The one just updated 0.9.57 has no option or is it hidden?
Re: how to configure new wine version
Just run "winecfg". If you do not see that in the menu - ask whomever made your packages. Vanilla Wine does NOT put any Wine's links in the menu (winecfg, notepad, regedit, etc) if that is what you talking about.Harold Meneley wrote:The previous version of wine used winecfg.

Maybe if you installed a package there are problems with that?

Wasn't root
I wasn't running as root or using root terminal. I went back to 0.9.25-2.1 It works fine. Did the same thing and the config box comes up. Could all of this be because of the latest updates?? It seems as if things changed the kernel. I am running 2.6.18-6-686 Debian.
Re: Wasn't root
You sure did. If you look at the log you pasted /root/ is accessible by root user only. And Wine will try to use /root/.wine only if you are running it as the root user.Harold Meneley wrote:I wasn't running as root

Bad analogy. More accurate would beIf people jump out the open window should we build buildings without windows?If users can't even tell if they're running apps as root,
I think it's really past time for us to make wine
simply refuse to run as root (unless you give
