KM> LOL. I've had zero luck with WINE. Gave up and use XP in a VM. KM> Whine whine whine! It's 1700 somewhere! As for WINE, I rarely use it because I sort of forget about it. Think the last time I used it was from DNS Benchmarks (GRC.com) and according to my notes that was around a year ago. I mostly use 'random' Windows utilities for repairing thumbdrives -- which has a bit of a problem because if the host system (Ubuntu in my case) doesn't detect or properly detect it won't pass through to the VM. ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ....
