I do not have the Movies folder renamed. And it works for me with or
without the -opengl switch but I do have an GeForce4 Ti 4200 which can
work fine without the opengl switch. Newer nVidia cards removed some
functionality from the GPU that makes -opengl a requirement.

> If i run with -window i get a black window instead of a black screen. There are countless forum threads about this problem, and not one has a solution. There also seems to be a problem connecting to battle.net, but i haven't made it that far yet. When i played it some time ago i could do everything, battlenet, and even run it in directx mode for laughs!

I heard that battlenet does not work with wine versions > 0.9.48 but
for me that is fine because I never use that.

My last ditch effort was going to be reverting to an old wine version. Now i am out of ideas, and would appreciate any help.

Using wc3 in wine in the last 3 years has not required a crack. Well
at least for me.
