Pressing F11 puts the browser in full screen mode which sounds like what has happened (as a matter of fact it's the same key on Internet Explorer and Firefox on other platforms too). With regards to the software not seeing the CD, I find wine can be a little bit hit and miss if it needs direct access to the CD drive (for instance low level access for CD/DVD writer software etc). One fix I found for direct access was to type the following in a terminal: *cd ~/.wine/dosdevices rm d: ln -s /media/cdrom d: ln -s /dev/scd0 d:: *This points the virtual CD drive to the mount point for the CD drive and also points d:: to /dev/scd0 which is the first CD/DVD drive. Also running winecfg from a terminal, browsing to the Windows executable you're trying to run and then setting the Windows version to NT 4.0 may help. This guide might give you a few pointers... http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/ (it is instructions for installing and running DVD Shrink on Wine but it seems to work for other applications too). Anyway, hope this helps. Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
