 I have had a wine setup working very nicely for
several months. Then I didn't work with it for aa
couple of weeks. Now when I click on the prigram
desktop icons, I get nothing. I opened a terminal and
changed directory to where the program resides and
issued "wine progname"
 I get a reply as follows
  preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range
00000000-60000000
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range
00000000-60000000
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\2nd Story
Software\\TaxACT 2007\\TaxAct07.exe": Invalid address

when looking around at error logs and such I saw
somewhere a statement to the effect that wine uses the
first part of memory for dos addresses.
 I don't know what could have happened. I looked in
yum.log and wine was updated in early april, but I
think it was working OK after that. I tried removing
wine and reinstalling, but get the same problem.
 One of the reasons I didn't use wine for a while was
that I was installing and playing with clamav. Is it
possible that clamav is protecting memory and won't
let wine reserve it? I am not running clamd (as far as
I can tell.)
 Any help would be appreciated. My next step will
probably be to remove all the wine stuff and all the
windows programs and stsrt over. With no idea what the
problem is I think I will probably end up right where
I am now
 Any help, comments, advice, etc? appreciated.
