Delete the movies folder.

For Battle.net to work properly you need to patch Wine (source
code)... (Wine 0.9.45 works as well, but it is OLD....)

If you use a battle.net launcher to play on a pvpgn server you need to
set the OpenGL mode setting in the registry (see appdb).

If you install the 1.22 patch you need install some recent version of
the MS Visual C++ runtimes... (Check appdb for details....)

You might want to keep Warcraft in a seperate WINEPREFIX if you have
any DLL overrides on your system...

Mine currently work fine with the only issues being a occasional flash
on the screen and some minor graphical issues... (I have the Intel
GMA3100)
