Wine on Mint9 vs Ubuntu10.04

Post by krisjames »

Using Wine 1.1.42:

On Ubuntu10.04, Word 2000 works fine.

But on Mint9, Word 2000 doesn't work. After being open for a few seconds, it doesn't respond, then gives error: "Must close"

I'm assuming the problem is with Mint9, since Wine 1.1.42 works so well for me in Ubuntu10.04.

Just wondering if others have had problems with Wine 1.1.42 on Mint9?

Try using Wine 1.2-rc5 on Mint and advise if the problem 'goes away'.
