One comment:  We ask that you use English because it is a universal 
language when working with computers.  If you don't know what to say in 
English, then please use Bablefish or other translation service.  The 
transalation may not be perfect, but it may be enough for us to provide 
help.  BTW, the comment to install on a 'clean .wine' has solved many 
problems.  I do testing for the Wine project and have several .wine 
directories on my system.  Switching between them is as simple as 
setting the WINEPREFIX= environment variable.  How to do this varies 
upon the shell you are using and the Linux variant you are using and is 
actually beyond the scope of this mailing list.  Again, Google/Yahoo or 
your favorite Internet search engine is definitely the method to use to 
find out how to do this.  And no one thinks they are *God* on this list, 
just is that you have to do your homework by reading the FAQ and looking 
at other documentation, before posting a question here is always a good 
idea.  And yes, I've been told to do so in the past and maybe told to do 
this in the future.

Thank you.
