Gregory:
Please do two things:
One, strip off the signatures for those of us using the mailing list.
Two, please run the Windows version from terminal using the command
line. Instructions are at: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal
Please advise what happens after you attempt to login to oovoo.com
Thank you.

James,
Sorry about the signature... thought I had removed it. Thank you for
your assistance!!!!
I tried using wine from the command line in a terminal setting by
getting in the directory :
/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ooVoo
and then executing
wine start ooVoo.exe
This results in having the ooVoo login screen generated on the desktop,
but when a login is attempted it fails. I have tested the login name
and password on a Windows 7 machine and am able to gain access without
difficulty.
The ooVoo login screen also allows you to request a new account; when I
tried to set up a new account using the terminal access as well as the
gui access on the desktop both methods do not allow me to set up an
account. The Windows 7 machine did allow me to set up an account.
Any other ideas?
Greg
