Interesting ... I used regedit to rename that key to "myPreferences" and Picasa still fired up. Try this at a [windowed] command line: u...@machine:~> cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin u...@machine:/opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin> ./wine regedit When regedit appears on the screen, navigate to: hkey_users\S-1-5 4\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2 Is there a "Preferences" key? I have two: Preferences Runtime The Preferences key has only one entry in it: ReportStats REG_DWORD 0 If you don't have the Preferences key, you can add it: 1) Right-click on "Picasa2" key and select New->Key 2) Type in "Preferences" 3) Click on Preferences and right-click in the right Pane and select New->DWORD value and type in: ReportStats 4) The default value is 0 ... quit Regedit See if PIcasa will fire up now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
