--- Comment #15 from Paull y3531@hotmail.co.uk --- HI Anastasius,
Apologies but, despite 30 years as an IT developer, Project Manager and Consultant, I only worked with proprietary IBM and Windoze operating systems and I'm a complete novice with Linux / Wine so you need to be gentle with me.
1)"Did you use a clean (new) WINEPREFIX for installation?" Don't understand WINEPREFIX. Just downloaded 1.6.1 from WineHQ then as suggested upgraded to 1.7.11
2)" something borked with your distro" Whoa, could you please repeat that in lanuage suitable for a bright teenager :-) and maybe suggest a solution
