Hi all, Since sorting out the new version of ubuntu all seems ok except for wine.

When executing a program under wine, the screen flashes continuously and the desktop is still running, although actions are slowed, the only way to stop screen flashing is to do a restart. Is there something about 9.04 and wine which I am missing? Worked well under 8.10.

Does this happen for all programs you try to run, or just some? How about wine's "builtin" programs, like winecfg, regedit, or notepad? If it's just a few programs, try playing with the settings in winecfg.

Second, try using another version of wine. It's possible there's some kind of bug or regression in the wine video driver. You can get previous versions from winehq.com if necessary. Also check out their appdb to see if there are any issues reported for the programs you're trying to run.

Finally, if you're running a 3D desktop, you might try disabling it for a while, and/or try using a different video driver, if possible.

Thanks for that. yes it does it on all programmes running wine. Ill try and obtain an older version.
