Summary: Where's Waldo - The Fantastic Journey Demo starts up minimized Product: Wine Version: 1.3.8 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Both the retail DVD and the yahoo games free trial seem to suffer from similar problems. To repeat, do rm -rf ~/.wine sh winetricks ie6 wget http://h.yimg.com/jh/games/download/signed/ludia/yahoo_whereswaldo_tm6-6.exe wine yahoo_whereswaldo_tm6-6.exe
Install the game, then start it. It sets the screen to 800x600, then minimizes itself. You have to play alt tab - tab - tab games to get back to it, after which you can play.
If you try running in a virtual desktop, the game starts minimized, and there is no way to maximize it.
wine start /max doesn't seem to help with the free trial, as the problem binary is launched by a wrapper.

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc4 or higher or is this to be closed as abandoned ?

--- Comment #2 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2013-06-30 23:53:23 CDT --- Having trouble testing. The yahoo games free trial doesn't seem to be free anymore; the gamehouse one doesn't install (bug 13982); I'm still fighting with the Bigfish one.

--- Comment #3 from Wylda wylda@volny.cz --- It took me lot of time to find the demo, but without success. Only one was Gamehouse, i had to download on Win machine, but anyway, their loader has the same problem as installer. Looks like, it can't be re-tested.
Abandoned. Feel free to re-open.
