Screen goes black when I start apps
Screen goes black when I start apps
Everything was working fine, then after an update, it no longer works. I am using Fedora 7. I am unsure of the Wine version. Any of the Wine apps cause the screen to blank when I start them. I can press alt+f4 to close and get my Fedora desktop back. How do I get my Wine apps to work again?

More info...
When I tried notepad from the terminal, the screen went blank again but when I closed the app with alt+f4, I get this message:
wine notepad
err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"mrtRate" failed to load
fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))
wine notepad
err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"mrtRate" failed to load
fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))

To get wine version, run:

Tony:I have version
wine-0.9.56
Here's something interesting... I restarted my system and tried notepad and it started fine. I closed the app and tried again and got the blank screen. I restarted again, and was able to launch notepad once. The second time leads to the blank screen.
Can you go to the Fedora Core site and upgrade to Wine 0.9.57 and tell
us if this fixes the problem?

You should be able to do yum -update wine and get the latest if ISure, what site is that and how do I get to it? I have been doing updates via yum only.

So, other applications work fine? Please look at the AppDb for QuickenBTW, it has been working fine for several months now. Only noticed tonight when I tried to start Quicken.

No, all apps do it.
It doesn't matter which windows app I run first. It works once after a full restart and then that app or any other will not work again without getting the blank screen.
Note: I have been running quicken on Wine for 6 months without a hitch so I doubt it's a compatibility problem. Happens with Notepad from the system menu as well.
