Ah, ah. This is where I complete fail in my understanding. I had the idea that wine was able to run any window program (modulo registry etc.) no matter how I did the install. You are saing "do not run a windows program unless you installed the program with wine"? (or atleast do not expect it to work). > Wine cannot guess where your existing windows partition is mounted. I saw three solution for that: A) It look at ~/.wine/c:/ and then in /mnt/windows/ B) Notices that the program started in a /mnt/windows/ path. C) If installed under /mnt/windows/ you must manual make some extra links. But neither wiki or the docs said anything about this, which was why I asked. Peter
