[cw-discuss] Miserable 6.0 experience...

[Derek Fountain]

I bought Crossover 6.0 a week or so back after a good experience with
3.0 Pro a long time back. Not going well...

Installation was OK on my SUSE-10.2 single CPU machine. I only need Word
and Excel from Office 2003, so I stuck that disk in and ran a customised
install. The installation hung up three quarters of the way in. Some
Wine process was using 100% of the CPU. I left it for 30 mins, but it
clearly wasn't going to come back. I spent the next few minutes killing
wine processes, and eventually rebooted to get rid of the zombies.

I only need Office 2000 really, so I dug out that CD and started again,
and this time it succeeded. But now Excel is proving unreliable. It's
hung up in the same way twice this afternoon - some wine process taking
100% of the CPU and nothing happening in the application.

I wiped everything in sight and went back to Crossover 3.0 Pro. It's
only been an hour but that's been OK so far.

Is this a known problem, or is anyone else seeing it? I've not been able
to reproduce it reliably (and I need the machine for work, rather than
as a test box, so I'm not keen to reproduce it either!)
