Pokerstars

I have installed wine 1.1.13 on Debian 4.0. I can run the PokerStarsInstall.exe just fine. Poker Stars works fine but I do not get any icon. Then when I close out Poker Stars, the only way I can run it again is to run PokerStarsInstall.exe. No other .exe files do anything. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!!

I do the same in Open SuSE. I get an entry innthe menu "programs" to click
on. Maybe Debian works
the same way

this is what I get:

asus-756980212:/home/user> wine pokerstars
fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x980000 0 0x32fde4 4

then a windows box pops up and says Contact PokersStars. Pokerstars says contact wine.

Some applications run better in wine if you install a "blue screen systen"
like windows ins the same machine. Install PokerStars in windows and reboot
the linux system and run PS under wine/linux using a shortcut to the dir
where u installed PS in windows

No, please don't encourage this.

File a bug report. Include screen shot as an attachment. I don't think
there are any bug reports for this program.

If you can include all terminal output, including any that exists from
the program's installation package. Please do an installation in a
fresh user space Wine directory ($HOME/.wine). If you have many
programs installed under Wine, it is possible to do this by using the
WINEPREFIX system environment variable.

Run in terminal:
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.winepokerstars
wine notepad (this does some setup for Wine).

Run the installation program from the installation CD/DVD:

cd /media/cdrom (or the location where the CD mounted to)
wine PokerStarsInstall.exe

cd to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/<directory where pokerstars
installed to>
wine pokerstars

Post all terminal output as an attachment to the issue.

It is not necessary to run wine notepad. wineboot is run before any
other program and does this automatically.--
