Hello,

--- quote ---
As you notice it Anastasius, i put GDIPLUS.DLL to "native" in winecfg, and,
effectively, MS Visio2003 is launching without any errors....but crash after
10" (as you seems to notice it). 

So "IOPL Not Enabled" doesn't pop up  anymore when i select native GDIPLUS.DLL.
but product is still unusable...(because of the crash just after)

What has this crash to do with this bug id?
This bug is about "Visio 2003 startup fails with iopl not enabled message".
I already explained issue and a workaround. The solution works.
When wine implements/supports gdiplus v2 interface this bug id can be closed
(summary should be changed to reflect this).

Other crashes while working with Visio 2003 are complete _separate_ issues.
Wine contains many bugs and regressions so its not unusual for programs to
crash at some point.
It's an illusion to think wine is ready for production use. It will take a long
time until it gets somewhere near there...

Open new bug report and outline the _exact_ steps when you experience the crash
(reproducible).
Attach some crash log/backtrace.
You should mention the override in the new bug report (or at least mention this
one) so others don't fall into same startup trap.
Then someone might look into the issue.

Regards
