I'm not sure where to post this question... Please be gentle <grin> I'm trying to run Office10 winword.exe (a full installation on my D: drive) under Mandrake Linux 8.2 from a Windows XP Pro installation drive. The command I'm using is wine -dll ntdll,msvcrt=builtin /mnt/win_d/"Program Files"/Microsoft/Office/Office10/winword.exe The window frame opens up, but then I get a small window that just says "IOPL not enabled Error". I'm a programmer (13 years), so if you need anything like debug text, no problem, just tell me. Can anyone help? If I can get Office XP working, then I'll be set, and WON'T HAVE TO USE WINDOWS! <GRIN> -- David A.
