 hi,

 runnung dapper on my laptop, a dell d820 (coreduo based).  i've been
 given a cd's with xrays from a recent surgery, but the d's run a
 mostly-javascript program from GE (a favourite company of mine anyway!)
 that refuses to run in any environment other than windows/internet
 explorer.  so i can't see my x-rays!  i have the dapper wine packages
 installed and they seem to run fine -- installed firefox in the wine
 nvironment with no trouble, for instance.  but ie refuses to co-operate.
 has anyone had any success, and could they give me some clues?  thanks,

 matt

Crossover Office from Code Weavers can be useful. 
However, some apps that demand Windows specific stuff can still cause 
problems, in cases like this, it is easier to run a virtual machine, i.e. 
VMWare Server. (Guess it depends if you need to get work done, or would 
rather spend time making things work.)
