Okay, I found the section of in the config where the windows version is set, and it was set for win98. However, downloading and running dcom98 gave /this/ error: A newer version of DCOM95 or DCOM98 had been installed. To override, you must uninstall the current version first. This leads me to believe that dcom has nothing to do with my wine errors. Fortunately, I'm not trying to do anything important with Wine -- just some children's games. I'll play around with this later. Thanks again for the help, Eamon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
