It's funny how no one suggests this the whole time, but as soon as I put
up a post saying to do it then someone else jumps on board and says the
exact same thing . . . what's the deal? Perhaps my post didn't come
through on your server before you posted?

Thank you R10000. I do not get a mismatch error, but I will anyway
recreate the .wine folder and report back later today

Thanks Lionel. You are the first one restponding to the problem I
posted. There have been several suggestions (with helpful intensions)
to solve the problem in a different way than that I asked help with.

As I could not install Excel I copied over a .wine folder from the
Fedora partition. When I start wine the welcome screen comes on for
about 3 seconds and than it dies. The debugger output is:

I am sorry that I could not be of assistance but I wish you luck!

P.S. OS/2 (Warp 4) is my favorite, hands down! Refused Windows
after about 1992. But Warp is getting very long in tooth.
eComStation never worked right for me - graphic drivers . . .
ain't computers interesting?
