hi john/kate,
are you a transsexual? HAHA I AM ONLY JOKING. thanks for the advice.
>What exactly do you mean by 'Linux code' ? Did you install a Linux

my friend got the linux code from a floppy disk (his friend is a hacker type
works in an internet cafe). we downloaded the code onto my laptop and then
this problem happened.
>Better at what ? Wine tries to turn Windows API calls into Linux ones.
>Applications use APIs - not drivers or hardware. So no, Wine is no luck.
so window$ IS better than linux???? i don't think so. window$ crashes all
the time while with wine i can run windows *perfectly* using the linux code
+ reliability + open source. but maybe u are right about the drivers. i will
still give it a try though.
i will ask compustore about the printer. thanks again.
