Im using 1.3-2 right now. I called my save folder vids and my files are all one word names and I think that must be why they are downloading alright. They play in gxine without error. I tried some two word names with a space in and they wouldn't download at all. Anyway its an easy way to catch a utu...

Thanks david. I uninstalled the two versions I had on there, 1.1.19 I think and 1.1.37 and then installed the 1.1.38 which kept all the old settings in any case,even the spotify password so that was a bonus. The 1.1.38 has a better choice of sound config but winetricks is only useful from command li...

Should I somehow uninstall previous versions of wine before attempting to install a new version? I found after I installed a newer version i seemed to have made it a bit hit and miss whether the exe's actually did anything afterwards and menu items dont all do anything now either. Whats the best app...

I really like teen pup,when I originally got an old laptop to play with ,about 2 years ago,I ran an earlier version on it and it was lovely. I could watch films, surf via ethernet and get my emails. I have recently tried the 2009 version and like that very much too but now we have mainly wireless co...

newest lighthouse dies after pwidgets added

I have been playing with the newest lighthouse and it is very nice. Got it all as I wanted it yesterday with my DVB-t and cut down open office, firefox and java. Then thought I would get the pwidgets application as it has that cool clock and side bar. After I clicked on it in puppy package manager, ...

I think of it as Win(dows)E(mulator). but I suppose the E could also stand for Environment. It is handy for getting used to linux but finding just one or two things were very hard to do without when not using windows. It doesn't run everything from windows but I think each new release adds a bit mor...

Thanks for the reply Tazoc but they both give me 'current download limit exceeded' which is the reason I was trying to use the ones from Nvidias own site. I was reading a bit about the devx.fs thing on here and it seems in 4.3.1 it is not working from the boot manager(nor is anything else I think as...
