--- Comment #5 from Dirk Mittler mdirk@sympatico.ca 2008-11-29 13:54:27 --- When I had first set up Dragon Naturally Speaking 7, I had used winetricks to install 'fakeie6'. And I found that DNS did not need the 'gdiplus' patch, in order to work fine. By that time, the Wine DLLs were good enough to let it run.
But after my upgrade to Wine 1.1.9, since Dragon was no longer working, I did try to use winetricks, to install the native version of 'gdiplus' as well. Yet, this did not help. It seemed to have no effect on Dragon.
