Additional Comments

I test Msn 7.0 for win2k on wine 0.9.16 with windows 2000 bottle. I installed wine from fedora extra repository with yum. then I download internet explorer 6.0 SP1 for win2000. Then I installed Msn 7.0. When I conected. Msn inform you."need install ActiveX control you you like download and install?" I clicked yes .Ok only one step more. You need download riched20.dll and put on /windows/sustem32 and configure with winecfg "native".
