NBPro 5.40 V13 Build 8607 & Wine-0.9.51 & File Tab

Postby jkfloris » Thu Jan 24, 2008 1:23 pm

Today I've downloaded NewsBin 5.40 V13 B 8607. Unfortunately when I click the "Files" Tab in Newsbin, it hangs sometimes.
I had this same problem in beta version 11. I don't know if this is a Newsbin error or a Wine bug.

Looked at the dump. It doesn't tell me much. It seems to be dying deep in Wine.

If possible you might want to try a more recent version of wine first(if there is one), then in lieu of that going back to an older version. I'm running it on wine-0.9.37 and have never experienced what you describe. I doubt you'd need to go that far back.
