Tony,
   Thanks for the quick response. I'll check out the links this
afternoon. I'll see if I can figure out the desktop mode you speak of
and try it from there.

   I got Quicken running again by reinstalling wine with no windows. I
am concerned that the 'With Windows' mode makes the C:\ drive my real
Windows C drive. This would potentially make new installations write to
the real registry, wouldn't it? That's scary to me. I do not want Wine
to have any effect on a correctly working portion of a dual boot machine
like this.

   Thanks for all your help! Makes me feel better someone is out there!

Cheers,
Mark
