A lot of questions

Dear fellow wine users,

I have some questions.

1)
First of all I would like to know if there is a message archive for the 
older messages and where can I find it.

2)
Another question is about wine and xserver stability. Every time when I run 
MSWORD97 on the latest wine or on the codeweavers wine-1.0-preview3 and I 
load a Document with more than one page and I scroll trough the document my 
hole xserver crashes. On my pc with nvidia card this could be solved by 
replacing the nvidia drivers by the original xfree nvidia drivers. But then 
I tried to access my computer via remote display from a pc with a ati (rage 
128) graphics card and the xserver crashed again. Both pc's are using 
xfree4.02 and the server was running codewaevers wine. 
The problem is that I don't have another driver for the pc with the ati 
graphics card. 

3)
When I tried to use the lastest cvs wine the I could't use wine via remote 
display and I got the following messages:

X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
  Major opcode of failed request:  134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  14 (XF86VidModeSetClientVersion)
  Serial number of failed request:  181
  Current serial number in output stream:  182  

The xserver is running on the pc with ati graphics card and the option not 
to load dga extension might be enabled or disabled, both give the same 
result. 
I really don't know which other option is for enabling the 
VidModeExtension, so any help is greatly appcriciated.

4)
Another question is about using codeweavers wine and MSOffice 97. When I 
try to load more than one program from MSOffice the second program crashes 
immediately at loading the second program. Running only one program works 
fine.

If have also tried to use Office 2000 and running more than one program is 
possible too, but when I try to load or to save a document it always 
complains that this is not possible (I have forgotten the exact error 
message). 

My problem is that for both office 2000 and office 97 it seems not to be 
possible to run them with wine but I really would like to run at least one 
of them. 

Any help is greatly appriciated, thanks in advance,

Bernd
