[Wine] Error after upgrading kubuntu

[jiachen]

Hi there,

I recently upgraded my kubuntu system to 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron), and one of the my data collection software under wine gives me this error every time I run it.


Code:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b92b280 "syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 001c, blocked by 0019, retrying (60 sec)

Previously, my kubuntu version was 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and this program (called DataStream) worked fine.

I googled "err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection" for solution and found a few posts.
Such as this one, 
http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=74&iVersionId=315&iThreadId=13763
I don't know what they mean by "switching to OSS or try driver emulation"

None of any other posts seems to give a solution.

I have not yet tried anything to fix this myself.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks.
