wine-stable: ""gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting"

Post by Katakis »

I am using Ubuntu MATE 20.04 with Wine 6.0.1 and had no problems using my old Windows programs. I am also using the nVIDIA 470.57.02 video drivers. I just reinstalled a fresh copy of the operating system and sometimes anything that relies on Wine fails to load, resulting in the following error:

Code: Select all

02a8:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
02a8:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Initializing dlls for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\conhost.exe" failed, status c0000005
02a0:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
02a0:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Initializing dlls for L"C:\\SDL2VICE-3.5-win32-r40031\\x64sc.exe" failed, status c0000005
It happens with every Wine program I try (not just x64sc.exe) and there is no way I can fix this. I have tried logging myself back in and reinstalled Wine, but to no avail. Then I am forced to restart my machine if I want to run them again. Strange thing about it is that I was able to run one Wine program before the error occurs. Is someone familiar with this problem?
