Here are my messages - I wasn't sure if a space was needed, so I tried it both ways.<br><br><br>melanie@atlasinstall:~$ mv home/melanie/.wine home/melanie/.wine.old<br>mv: cannot stat `home/melanie/.wine': No such file or directory
<br>melanie@atlasinstall:~$ mv home/melanie/.winehome/melanie/.wine.old<br>mv: missing destination file operand after `home/melanie/.winehome/melanie/.wine.old'<br>Try `mv --help' for more information.<br><br>Thanks!

I assume file "Wine Debug" is full terminal output (second file contains only<br>harmless warnings which are unrelated to your problem). From these lines:<br><br>melanie@atlasinstall:~$ wine /media/cdrom0/msetup4.exe
