Comment 263 for bug 260918

 Thanks for your comments (#35). Don't understand it but from a previous comment I think it said to try and install ispq9.x with wine 1.4 or 1.4.2 when available if not already so. If this is a good idea I will try it and report what happens to you here if this is the correct place. Thanks. Bob
