OK, I'll give that a try. However the process

rm -rf .wine
winecfg

implies that Alsa isn't set up by default. When I do that and go to
the Audio tab it tells me nothing is selected and that I have to
choose something. I choose Alsa, hear a sound (I think) and then apply
it.

I'm not sure if the creation of a D: drive and telling Wine that it's
a CD is required but I always do it. I suppose I should try a few
installs with different choices to see how they go.

Thanks,
