A couple years ago I found Ubuntu Linux. Fell in love it. But always had to keep uninstalling it. Right now I have a copy of Kbuntu and I absolutely love it. However, all my work in on Microsoft Windows and it programs.

So I need some help, to understand the advantages of wine and how do I go about installing some of my very important Microsoft programs. Do I just run the C.d in the drive and allow it to load up from their or do I put in codes or something.

I would also like to know - if all programs that can run on windows will it be able to run on Kbuntu wine or will there be some limitations.

Thank You [Exclamation]

You can edit system.reg directly. To get back to the default, look
for the section
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]
and change LogPixels to 60, e.g.
LogPixels”=dword:00000060

We should have a commandline interface to winecfg, though.
