Stopped working!

I use Ubuntu Hardy, and have used wine with Utorrent for months now. Yesterday it failed to respond.

It won't let me load utorrent from the Applications menu, nautilus or command line.

It won't let me configure wine either.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both with latest versions.

I have switched to KDE to try to get them to work - no joy!

Any ideas?

Delete or rename ~./wine, then run winecfg. A new ~/.wine will automatically be created. If that works, reinstall your apps. If not, post console output.

Nothing to output. It all seems to work fine except wine / utorrent does nothing. It doesn't load at all (it works in XP - same file / folder).

Are you trying to run this from a Windows partition? You need to install it properly in Wine. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-497f1a2 ... 2c7767afa2

Yeah it's on a windows partition, but then it was always on there. I don't see what's changed.

Problem solved - Uninstalled Wine, virtualised XP. It's not ideal, but it works mostly.

Stopped working!
