I guess FakeIE is not working for you? Can you describe the error you are getting? Sorry, no idea, but I doubt that it changed the code. I guess FakeIE is not working for you?

Unfortunalety, it seems to be not the only problem. Is it possibile that ubuntu/wine somehow changes the code which bible works sent to me? And therefore it is not able to run? Do you know how to handle that? Thanks a lot! Timo Thanks! Unfortunalety, it seems to be not the only problem. Is it possibile that ubuntu/wine somehow changes the code which bible works sent to me?

Why? I have no idea. You can "trick" Bibleworks into thinking you have IE installed by download winetricks and using the script to install fakeie. This is described in step 2 above. Good luck!

That's not possible. Look in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Bibleworks The one thing I don't understand is how you don't have a bw700.ini file. That's not possible.

This got me going beautifully (BWks 7 under Ubuntu 9.04) and I am quite sure I could not have managed without these instructions! Blessings! David.

I have two questions though... 1) You said the graphics (or fonts) looked better on Linux? Not mine! My Hebrew font looks bad. What did you do to make it look nicer? 2) I cannot seem to find the correct file to disable the startup screen (for BW7). Where is this file located exactly? I looked everywhere but with no luck! Thanks again, John Great tutorial and love the website! I have two questions though…
