I see that. However, where is the intention posted by the OP stated in
the fine manual? I am not denying the fact, rather, I would like to
see it documented in order to retort when another idiot web dev tells
me to just use wine. Yes, I do write to most of the problematic sites.

Re: How Functional is Wine's IE supposed to be?

That being said, I hope that one day at least the wine IE will be able to handle bank login controls and such. 
You can't do online banking in China without being able to emulate the login features and activex controls
from IE6.  There are also some other popular programs that are hung up on this over here.  It's the main
stumbling block to switching most casual computer users over to linux.

Re: loaded Unreal Tournament (GTOY) runs choppy Ubuntu 11.10

After going on the internet and trying to figure out how to shut down one core so Unreal Tournament will run
smoothly I found nothing that would work for Ubuntu 11.10. I have a AMD dual core.  I looked under the
gigabyte E350 motherboard bios and found no help.  Went on the forums but there does not seem to be any
software built for 11.10 except monitoring software.  I loaded software that gives me four choices
(conservitive, ondemand, powersave, and performance) but not a choice to shut down one core.  Does any one
know if there is any program made for 11.10 because I am just a user and know almost nothing about
programming through the terminal.  Thanks Ron

wine command line arguments

Hi All;

I have just successfully installed Microsoft:
Age of Empires II,
Age of Empires II-Conquerors expansion,
Age of Empires III
on Wine 1.3.7.

No dll overides, no pissing about nothing, just dropped in the CD, mapped it to using winecfg and installed.

Empires II installed directly from disk and would not run after the install until I applied the no_Cd_patch
and not are fine.

AoEIII has 3 CDs so copied all files to a directory and installed.

Now, to get wine to behave itself, I have set the graphics up to be in a 1280x1024 window and works fine from my
calling script:

#!/bin/bash
cd "/home/jserink/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Empires III/"
wine age3.exe

Now, I don't want all of wine to be in a 1280x1024 window, only the games so, I set winecfg to turn off the
virtual desktop and changed my script to this:
#!/bin/bash
cd "/home/jserink/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Empires III/"
wine -desktop 1280x1024 age3.exe

But it didn't work, the virtual desktop appeared then disappeared and I get this on the command line:
jserink <at> jserinki7 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Empires III $ wine

Wine's IE merely looks like IE6. Under the hood, it uses the same engine as Firefox. That's why websites and
apps that rely on ActiveX controls need real IE installed to work in Wine.

I don't use Ubuntu. On openSUSE, I just use taskset when I need to bind a process to one core. It's installed by
default in openSUSE. 

You really should ask this on the Ubuntu forum.

Re: How Functional is Wine's IE supposed to be?

In that case, I hope that bug fixing and implementation of IE6 continues in wine, so that someday the issues I
addressed can be fixed.  If they could, you could switch 95% of the chinese populace to linux and they would
be ok with it.  Then again, with that many people switching the chinese virus writers might start writing
for linux... have to think about that one some more.

The Applications Database is where the project keeps information on
installing and running programs with Wine.

Please keep in mind that Microsoft is NOT maintaining IE6 anymore.  I
would expect the project to attempt to incorporate functions from IE
that are not in the Gecko engine and from newer versions of IE.

Re: winecfg: creating new .wine-directory results in errors

Okay thanks for your help! 
just out of curiosity: if those errors are not problematic, why are they there anyway? is this some
functionality not yet implemented in wine? or just some minor bug that hasnt been fixed as it doesn't pose a
problem with using wine?
