Hi Clark

Thank you for your answer

After inserting your suggestions in the 'config' file, and in order to keep
Wine happy, I found these 4 dlls on my NT installation and copied them into
the Windows\System directory of Wine so Wine can access the native versions of
dlls.
((Do you reckon this is a pb that I used NT versions of dlls ? I don't think
so since you copied your from a Win2k ~=~ nt50))

I inserted the same lines for excel.exe (wich is the one prg I first need to
get working)

Running excel.exe, my error status under Wine changed to :
> fixme:ntdll:NtConnectPort (0x40575a30,L"\\RPC
Control\\epmapper",0x408513f0,(nil),(nil),(nil),0x40851368,0x408513e8 (120)),stub!
> fixme:ntdll:NtRequestWaitReplyPort ((nil),0x40851418,0x40851418),stub!
> fixme:win32:SetCriticalSectionSpinCount critsection=0x653c6230:
spincount=1000 not supported

In addition to this, excel says it cannot access linked objects. Which is
new then, even if I already knew that fact with wine. And after this, beeps
once more and freezes.

I guessed I had to make ntdll.dll accessible to native, but it did not
change anything. Nor as builtin. I also tried to changed the "Wine version" to
nt40 and still no result.

With winword, I get the same errors but Winword keeps running. Only that I
still cannot open nor save a document (=the original pb). Winword says "not
enough memory available", as previously.

But I have the impression I am coming further, and that your comment
helped.thx. Do you have any new suggestion ? could you pls mail me your config file
so I can see what else I could have to change ?
