[Wine]Re: cannot run Wine

[bea.gr]

First of all..
thanks for all the replies , I'm not alone in the dark...
then ..
It seems that it's not a problem of permission on the directory fake-windows :
"chmod 700 /home/bea.gr/.wine/fake-windows" change absoluty nothing
and my wine config are correct (it seems to be)
The problem is in the symlinks in the directory .wine/dosdevices/
before the change I made, two symlinks were wrong and seems to go to nowhere 
(as I tried in the shell and kde):

lrwxrwxrwx    1 bea.gr   users          29 2004-06-19 07:33 c: -> ../
${HOME}/.wine/fake_windows

lrwxrwxrwx    1 bea.gr   users          10 2004-06-19 07:33 y: -> ../${HOME}

then I recreated the links :
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           32 2004-07-02 23:31 c: -> /home/
bea.gr/.wine/fake_windows/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 2004-07-02 23:34 y: -> /home/
bea.gr/

and it works now with no such that message anymore :
"Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not 
accessible"....
I can launch "wine notepad" without problems
???? a reason for this ?

thanks a lot 8-)
