Errors when running Kazaa with WINE...any suggestions?
Here are the instructions for using Kazaa with WINE.. I'm assuming there is no directory named fake_windows....but it is the "windows" directory i gave a location to in the installation. Im kind of confused why you rename the files...and then get the files from the website ....The error I am getting when i do "wine kpp.exe"...is the one right below. The stuff below that are the directions to installing wine with kazaa after installing kazaa....if these directions are in any way misleading, please let me know. Thanks.

x11drv: Can't open display: :0.0

you're running it as root aren't you? thisd is nothign to wo with wine or kazaa, you just haven't given yourself permission to connect to the local X server.... "xhost +localhost" as your normal user
Don't bother with the actual kazaa anyway, there is a thread over at gnomesupport.org showing you how to set it up using native software - apparently this works much better (i've not tried either approach)

Thanks for the website Ionstorm...I'll check it out. I'm having a diff. problem with Wine now....i get the same error when trying to run notepad ...however, about a week ago, i tried running notepad with wine, and it worked just fine. Any specific reason for this certain error? Seems like it comes up sporadically in my case. Thanks.

why it has anything to do with kazaa or other apps i don't know, but it looks like a driver issue for your video where its using x11drv...try another display driver..

I am also trying to install kazaa... in Redhat 7.3
I'm assuming the fake_windows means the "windows" folder that you assign a path to in the install. I'm not 100% sure on this..but that seems to make sense to me.

Sorry, kind of new to this. Is there a selection of display drivers already installed into Redhat, or do i have to go download it somewhere. Thanks.
