Windows app launches but only shows background in window

Post by baldrick_nz »

Hi all,

I have an app I use for work, which seems to have installed correctly, but when launched the app window mirrors my current background. It used to work fine, but now after a fresh Ubuntu install, it doesn't work. I've tried both the stable 1.4.1 and dev versions with no luck.

It doesn't seem to affect any other native Linux or Wine-powered apps.

I've included a pic to help clarify my issue.

I'm using Ubuntu-Gnome 13.04, with all the latest updates.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Baldrick.

Things to try:
1. Emulated virtual desktop (winecfg=>Graphics tab)
2. Turn off desktop effects (or turn them on if this is happening with them off)

If neither of those things work, post terminal output from the current development release.
