Maybe wine has problems with Win98? I have W95, NT4, and FreeBSD on my
machine. When I had Word 97 running it was installed under 95, but I
uninstalled it (disk space) and installed it under NT instead. Since I
did that I've had problems getting Winword to run as well as it did.
Part of the problem seems to be that wine doesn't understand NT
registries and User Profiles; setting the ``System='' and ``Profile=''
lines in the [wine] section of ~/.winerc to the NT directories caused
wine to barf, setting them to the Windows 95 directories made wine run
better but winword complained ('coz it's registry stuff wasn't in the
Win 95 registry).
