I am on Wine .958, though I was running an even younger version under Fedora (some time ago, but AB running fine). PCLos has a fairly strict policy with focus on stability, so a newer version is not yet available. PCLos 2008 should be out soon, so I will be patient and wait on that, this time. I will try to re-install it, thought - just in case...
Thanks for the link. I looked at it over a year ago but it was new and did not have much information. Much better now! The work-around section actually mentioned my problem no. 2 and solved it, so thanks to both Michael and you for pointing it out! As for the drag-n-drop issue, it's still there, but it can be worked around - for now (if someone have suggestions, please feel free to speak up). Thanks for taking the time posting back. It was helpful! Cheers! CJ --- In [email protected], "Bill S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It sounds like you have a bad wine installation.
