Wine error message

Hi all,

Been setting up wine and I can't seem to get it to work so I had a perusal of the community documents.

When In try to run anything, I get the following message in a terminal :-

xxxx@xxxx-desktop:~/FG$ wine install.exe

preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report err:dosmem:load_winedos Could not load winedos.dll, DOS subsystem unavailable winevdm: unable to exec '--app-name': 16-bit support missing

The game is an old win95 game called Fantasy General that I recently re-discovered when having a clear out and would like to get it running.

Any ideas?

terminal........ #winecfg

applications

add application, locate exe, use windows version win95 or 98. or just use the default settings and in windows version try the older windows.

Tried that Cresho and I still get the error message when I try and run an exe. Not sure what I'm doing wrong at the moment :confused:

http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem might solve your problem. It will at the very least make the preloader warnings go away.
