[Bug 9941] New: Microsoft Agent tooltips malfunction and lack of audio

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9941

Summary: Microsoft Agent tooltips malfunction and lack of audio
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.46.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Created an attachment (id=8442)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8442)
Log generated by the terminal running IE6.

I recently used a shell script (ies4linux) to install IE6 under Wine. I then
installed Microsoft Agent under wine as well.

I attempted to view http://www.foxee.net in IE6 for the purpose of using the
Foxee agent. The agent itself loaded, but I was presented with an error box
saying "Your current security settings prohibit ActiveX controls on this page.
As a result, the page may not display correctly."

Whenever the agent 'speaks', the text in the tooltip is nothing but random,
garbled symbols, and there is no audio whatsoever, with the exception being
what I assume is a pre-recorded sound file (a barking noise) that plays when
Foxee 'introduces herself'.

Attached is a log of the terminal output from IE6. I opened the site containing
the agent around the time that long string of
fixme:hook:IsWinEventHookInstalled's
started. The block of them, anyway, followed by the long string of tooltip
errs.

I wasn't trying to get support for ies4linux, or even IE6. I was reporting
Microsoft Agent's lack of speech audio and garbled speech bubbles.

If you want support for Microsoft Agent,
please submit a new bug report that does
not involve ie6.  Wine does not support
any app when installed with ie6.

For example, you might try to find some local app
on the Microsoft Agent ring, say 
http://www.uk-software.com/speakingclock.htm, that
has a locally installable agent, and see if that
can reproduce some of your agent-related problems
without installing ie6 at all.
If so, please open a new bug for it (don't
use the current bug, that's a bit messy now).
