I was hoping to avoid all that, but I guess I can't.  So I swapped in a
spare drive and did a fresh install of Windows on it, then swapped back
and copied all the files onto my main drive.  What a pain.

I'd definitely prefer that!  Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of
success that way.  On the other hand, I haven't had much better luck WITH
Windows.  For example, I'll run setup for an app and get a black window
that goes away a moment later, and the terminal shows this:

  fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetIdeInterface not implemented for BSD
  fixme:reg:GetSystemInfo not yet supported on this system
  wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...
  fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetIdeInterface not implemented for BSD
  fixme:reg:GetSystemInfo not yet supported on this system
  file_set_error: Bad address
  Can't attach process 8076000: error 317
  Terminated

I don't know about you folks, but that doesn't mean much to me.
What's the problem, and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Dave
