Unfortunately, i already tried that route. my wife loves the game, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (note the two, the first release actually does run with wine & vmware), and it requires DirectDraw support that just won't work in VMware. I also tried with wine, and ran into other problems. As much as I hate it, Win2k seems to be the only solution. thanks though. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
