Hi,

Each time i rune wine like winecfg or anything eles i got 2 time the message in a new windows "the program winedevice.exe has encountered a serious problem and need to close......"

It happend just after i install windows media player 9 with winetricks.

Does i need winedevice or must i resolve something or just try to disable the message ?

Programms still launch with wine after the 2 error windows but it's not proper and i have trouble with a game and don't know if it comes from that.

That vague message means something crashed. You will have to run your app from the command line to see just what is crashing and figure out what to do.

Disabling the crash dialog probably won't make a difference, but it won't hurt anything either. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c857c43 ... 25483c91d6

That shouldn't happen in newer winetricks, I've disabled the services
from running, so there shouldn't be a crash.

Besides, AJ committed a fix to ignore crashes in winedevice.exe today...
