Joe, if you installed the wine package from the cds, it won't work. That version appears to be broken. Uninstall that rpm then download and install the latest from http://wine.dataparty.no and you'll find it'll work fine. If this is what you have already done then I'm sorry I can't help you but perhaps someone else has a suggestion. skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
