Why would it? Wine is meant to run windows programs, and specifically tells you, multiple times, NOT TO USE ALREADY INSTALLED INSTANCES OF WINDOWS AS YOUR WINE C DRIVE...

Hi.
I downloaded wine and installed photoshop. it works ok but the fonts are all screwed up. you can see what i mean here

jjy2ka.nipz.com

it may not seem to annoying in the picture but if you try to do anything the fonts get in the way. some of the windows are cut short so even if you could read it clearly you couldn't read it all.

other than that the prog runs pretty well with little or no effort on my part. it crashes every now and then and i have to restart my computer, but i blame that on the Windows API (stupid microsoft)

I'm running Mandrake 10.1 on an Averatc 3150 laptop.
please help me out, im a total linux N3VvB !

Start a thread on it in the appropriate forum, don't tack a question onto other people's threads and think it'll get answerd...
