Thanks for your reply Yes I have checked the apps database AuctionTamer or DesignCAD are not in there. It looks like wine people spend most time working on widows apps that can be replaced by Linux App or playing games. Seams to be a wast to me, if you have a Linux app that will do the job then use it. As far as Games go I do not put any games on my computer. I have spent way to much time fixing MS-Windos computer for other people because of games screwing things up. > > http://appdb.winehq.com > > >After installing Mandrake Linux 9.2 I used rpmdrake to install > > Wine.

I was able to fix this problem by typing ps -A in the terminal and then kill all wine apps that where running. the I typed wine -v it returned the version # as it should have. The when I tried to run setup for DesignCAD I now have other errors about not have wine installed right.

Is Linux Better That MS-Windows? It sure seams to be a lot more trouble to me.
