--- Comment #4 from duff_man08@yahoo.com 2010-03-09 01:16:43 --- "The program Stat.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." it DOES run, for about a second until that occurs and 1.1.38
My only thought now is that perhaps in the list of files my father installed with the operating system he over looked some critical piece to Wine, but should anything critical be involved in the program itself, and listed as such? so i am at a loss. but that, perhaps, had happened, as my dad was planning on using VMware. though i'd prefer Wine as it's integrated. but his decision really, despite his preferences though, i doubt that is the case as a critical file should be included in a minimal install, even if there are extra options..
