I have purchased a simple windows program that is intended for the training of people handicapped with afasia. I need it for my wife, who suffered a stroke recently and she needs this program as part of her rehabilitation programme. We don't run windows, so I tried it using Wine.
The program is written in (some) BASIC and runs on anything from Windows98 and higher. It runs nicely with Wine, except for one thing: The program displays images and these are most of the time not visible, or flicker quickly before disappearing.
I've tried to use native (win98) versions of many DLLs, but that did not help.
I'm new to Wine, and any help would be appreciated, also on behalve of my wife.
I cannot share the program, but if anyone want to team up with me to sort this out I could make a copy available.
Platform info: Wine 1.1.15 on Fedora 10.

There's only one message during startup:
This screenshot shows a typicial screen
The big grey area should show an image of a chicken. The grey area below should contain the text "k . ." (where the name of the object is to be filled in). The right grey area should show a star.
When the window has been obscured by another window, the non-obscured parts appear, as can be seen in this screenshot
Also, when I move around the window, the image of the chicken appears. The "k . ." and star do not show.

Re: Images not show (or flickering) in old app
This might not work all that well. For the starters try 'winetricks dcom98' : http://wiki.winehq.org/winetrickssciurius wrote:I've tried to use native (win98) versions of many DLLs, but that did not help.
And set ole32, rpcrt4 and oleaut32 to native in winecfg.

In either case, it doesn't make any difference.
