Hi BlindTiger

Can you tell me if this command works in a BASH shell (it appears to be more stable on my rig - but I don't know how to use the Swiss Manager software):

Code:
wine explorer /desktop=Swiss_Manager,930x680 "C:\Program Files\SwissManagerUniCode\SwissManager.exe"


It relies on running the Swiss Manager in a Wine Virtual Desktop which is exactly the native size of the main Swiss Manager window when it launches (on my system anyway). This should ensure that the main window is centered in the virtual desktop and all buttons are accessible.
Running the application like this should get around the child window issues we were encountering (when the application locks up).

Post me some console output if it still craps out on your system!!  :D
