Wineserver is not shooting down

First - Wine is great. I love it totally.

To login into a company website I have to use IE6 - Firefox is not handling the Web Site due to some reglementations.

IE6 runs fine and there are NO problems. Only after exit, the Wineserver keeps running and takes away a lot CPU Power. I can stop it manually (System Monitor -> Process. Right Click and I can stop it (and it relieves the Power from the CPU). But if I want to start some wine programs later, it's not starting to run.

Why (or how) can the Wineserver be stopped automatic after using wine ? How can I start Wineserver to run IE6 ? I tried wineserver -k . Does not work.

Thanks for any help.

I bet you used ies4linux, right?
In that case, you need to do something like
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.ies4linux/ie6 wineserver -k
to shut wineserver down cleanly.

We don't support ies4linux (too many native overrides) here, sorry...
you might try asking the ies4linux folks.

Thanks Dan - this works perfect. Shoots down Winserver and I am able to start IE4Linux again. You are the MAN
