[Wine]Re: Configuration after installation problem

[Jonathan Ernst]

Delete your .wine directory as root (rm -rf ~rsteff/.wine)
Then run wine as normal user and you'll have a correct installation.

I recommand you to upgrade your wine version as well if you can. You'll
find up-to-date suse binaries here: 
http://www.winehq.org/site/download
(the current version is 20050725)

Then follow the instruction you'll find on the web or in the AppDB if
you need help any particular application. The application database can
be found here: http.//appdb.winehq.org

Good luck
