Hi Michael,

thank you for examining the qtgears.exe, so that explains why it behaves very similar to MoI although it's GUI is so much simpler.

Thank you also for providing a sample program from the Direct3D9 SDK, I tried to run it but got a "Could not find any compatible Direct3D devices." message shortly after all pixel formats have been queried. Not sure what is going wrong this time... I am using Wine version 1.3.32 too... perhaps the Intel GMA X3100 hardware is a problem...

Your description of Wineskin sounds a bit like Winebottler you mentioned previously, that bundling is indeed of advantage for creating a defined environment, I will have a closer look at it.

Many thanks,
Chyman
