I have installed wine and cabextract using yum on fedora 9. but whenever i try to run a windows application like winrar or any application, it causes the system to hang. i have to turn off the system and start it again.
i have already applied the solution for "Preloader Page Zero Problem".
is there any work around or should i just wait for a wine update because wine ran perfectly in my previous installation of fedora 7.
G'day, Wine was causing Fedora 9 hangs before some recent update. Have you updated your system recently? Also, I note that Wine in the Fedora release repository is 1.0 RC3, are you running that or have you built from 1.0 (release) source? I have no such problems with a fully patched Fedora 9, latest release NVIDIA proprietary driver, and Wine 1.0 built from source.
