[Wine] Re: Pilot Log Software Installs but Won't Run

> The one thing we did notice is that on some of the forms when we selected a field, a copy of the form heading and input field actually showed up at the very top of the Ubuntu Desktop (actually right on top of Applications, Places and Systems). Is there something we can adjust to fix this?


Maybe 'winetricks riched20' could help but that's just a wild guess

You can set oleaut32 to native for this app in winecfg (see wine user's guide). Then you can start it from the desktop (and it will use native oleaut32)

just set it to native for this app only . see wine user's guide

No idea really. Just give it a try i'd say. Good luck!
