Open Source? Please! Tell graphic people to use Gimp instead of Photoshop.
What I am trying to run is the widest used tool of my market, developed over more than 25 years, partially owned by Microsoft and offering the best tools for converting the widest range of files format.

Because clients don't want to send their text as txt. They want to send it in the format they had been created and get it back in this format. This tools saves us for having to bother having to buy QuarkXpress, Indesign, Framemaker or bothering with the tags of html or scripts because it does not come to the mind of clients wanting to reformat the files they get. Open source is best for translators but not for agencies last responsible for checking the text or reformatting the mess that translators made.

This has nothing to do with experience. That's a problem of graphic card not properly recognized and things turning bad when there is an update of the driver kernel/problems with drivers. And I am still updating my drivers because they have still issues.

I personally don't care about what you are thinking of me. I am getting my software to work apart from some menu problems, macro loading problem within  Word, licensing or cursor issue.
To that point it's pretty much irrelevant what Wine is doing.
And as I got this error, I was not running as root, I was using it user, using a packaged Wine that I installed using Yast as User.
Furthermore, I didn't change the title which broke the thread.

Now go on your own as your wish. I will continue to adapt Wine to my software in my back garden.
