wine on Mandrake 8.1

[Vaclav Chaloupka]

Hi,

I have installed wine on Mandrake 8.1 (the RPM from the Mandrake CD), fixed 
the ~/.wine/config file (man wine.conf) but the wine still does not work.


If I run what-ever application it does nothing, if I leave it long enough, 
it displays this....

[mypc]#wine notepad
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical section 0x4011a610 wait timed 
out, retrying (60 sec) fs=024f
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical section 0x4011a610 wait timed

/usr/bin/wine: line 22:  2916 Terminated              ${true_binary} "$@"

Is there anything else I need to do? Please help! Thank you


(I do have Windows 98 installed on /mnt/windows and I for the 
troubleshooting I did mount it so all have full read-write access to it, as 
well as to the floppy drive).

This is the ./winecheck output:
[mypc]#./winecheck
This script verifies the configuration of the whole Wine environment.
Note that this is an ALPHA version, and thus it doesn't catch all problems !
The results of the checks are printed on the right side:
OK         - test passed without problems.
SUSPICIOUS - potentially problematic. You might want to look into that.
BAD        - This is a problem, and it leads to configuration score penalty.
CRITICAL   - A critical problem which can easily lead to malfunction.
FAILED     - This problem leads to Wine failure almost certainly.

The result will be printed as a percentage score indicating config 
completeness.
