Hello

Basic question: I want to be able to use a Win2K program (Pinball !) with Linux booted.

I have tried various

wine /mnt/nt/xxx/pinball
to no avail.

Thanks for any hints.

Gerard

What errors do you get?

I don't know if wine actually supports this particular application but do know that it can be a bit annoying trying to gt some apps to work with wine.

wine /mnt/nt/../pinball/pinball.exe

warning: could not find wine config (drive x) entry for current working directory (.../pinball): starting in Windows directory

Looks like the more simple of the problems youmight find with wine. It can't find the pinball executable using the path you have supplied. Check where exactly this pinball.exe is.

give a look at www.winehq.org . You should find a link to a "Wine Application Database" (or something similar) that contains information about the specific wine configuration to a run lot of windows appications, including games.

I have a limited web access... I can't give you the right url :-) sorry

Ciao

What I find at

http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-verify

looks promising.

I will try that and let you know.

Thanks
