http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923 tony_lambregts(a)telusplanet.net changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts(a)telusplanet.net 2002-07-28 23:05 ------- I'll bet you ran explorer.exe, and since you think your system is ruined I can understand that you are ticked. I just want to ask you this. Do you always run alpha software your system without backup? Take a look at the README file that should have come with wine. In it you will find this.
>> Wine is not yet complete, so several programs may crash. Provided you set up winedbg correctly according to documentation/debugger.sgml, you will be dropped into a debugger so that you can investigate and fix the problem. For more information on how to do this, please read the file documentation/debugging.sgml.
You should backup all your important files that you give Wine access to, or use a special Wine copy of them, as there have been some cases of users reporting file corruption. Do NOT run Explorer, for instance, if you don't have a proper backup, as it renames/cripples several directories sometimes. Not even other MS apps such as e.g. Messenger are safe, as they launch Explorer somehow. This particular corruption (!$!$!$!$.pfr) can at least partially be fixed by using http://home.nexgo.de/andi.mohr/download/decorrupt_explorer
Now hopfully this little program can fix this up for you. The Moral of this story: There is no such thing as too much backup.
