Lawson,<br>

I did read your suggested input and validated that in fact they were all
implemented. <br>
<br>
This reply was a reply to a second answer. <br>
<br>
Here is the fstab section:<br>
<br>
/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 1 1<br>
/dev/hda7 /usr ext2 defaults,auto 0 0<br>
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults,auto 0 0 <br>
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win98 vfat defaults,auto,umask=0,sync 0 0 <br>
<br>
Here is the referenced ls /mnt output line:<br>
<br>
drwxrwxrwx 21 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 win98<br>
<br>
Here is the copy of the $HOME/.wine/config file<br>
<br>
[Drive C]<br>
"Path" = "/mnt/win98"<br>
"Type" = "hd"<br>
"Label" = "win98"<br>
"Filesystem" = "win95"<br>
<br>
It was your input that got the permissions to 0777, however Word still fails.
<br>
<br>
This error must be either part of a registry or word config parameter, etc.
<br>
<br>
Again, Thank you for your help,<br>
