You're probably running an old version of winex. MDK 9.1 uses NTPL (a new and improved threading system) that older wine systems can't handle. The symptoms your seeing (especially the lockups) are common when you are running an old wine with a newer distribution.
If you have a subscription to Transgaming, try downloading the latest version (3.something) and trying again. I'm guessing your luck will improve...

Was following the instructions on http://www.geocities.com/desktopmandrake/wine.htm Unfotunately I kept getting the "no socket file" error every time I tried to start it. A quick google search showed that typing "wineserver" before launching wine might help. Sure enough it did. However it wasn't with problems... Starcraft locked up in Battle net after I joined a game and started to download a map. Counter-Strike (Retail) locked up after the main screen came up. A couple questions for ya all: Have any of you had lockups with WineX like I did? If so, how did u resolve them? How is the purchased RPM on Mandrake 9.1? I thought I remember hearing that the compiled version was best for Mandrake 9.1? Any other input about Wine/WineX on Mandrake 9.1 appreciated ! =) -----Original Message----- From: Jim C [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Wanted to try wine I've never run a windows emulator before and I wanted to see if I could get some Blizzard (StarCraft, WarCraft etc...) games to run under Mandrake 9.1 What I discovered is that 9.1 comes with only 1 emulator (that I've found so far) and it is a freakin Alpha. We were not amused. So. What is the best way to do this? -- ------------ Jim C. ---------- Jim C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
