Ok thanks
I got wine running ok, only way I know to open a windows program is to mount the windows directory search for what program you wnt to run and right click open with "Wine Windows Emulater " is this correct , I do get error's when opening Adobe software or Macromedia software, do they need to be installed on the Linux box it self
IE browser opened but ask to download Wine Geko installer, which it did but came up with a blank window
I'm looking at the Wine Application Database now to see if there are any how too's for programs I wish to run, I realy only need two ( above appz )

Ok I found the Wine File Structure, how do i create a short cut for a program i installed, it didn't install the menu shortcut or I forgot to tick the right box.
I was able to install Adobe photoshop and Image ready along with Dream Weaver, Win rar, ImTOO, Winzip, haven't tried any more yet.
Not bad only one problem with code weavers, is that you have to buy the product.
Yes, but the price is moderate, it supports further development of Wine, and the product is robust and reasonably stable. I had problems when I tried to install Wine some time ago, before I installed CodeWeavers.
