As a general rule, if something doesn't run under Wine, it most likely won't run under ReactOS at the moment. This will change though, the list of working software is growing and will continue to do so until everything works.
That's too bad. I haven't used Windoze for several months now. I hoped to never use it again. I do really miss my Bible software. I hate to throw $500 out the window. I've used Bibletime, but it's just not the quality application that I'm looking for. I have windows ME installed on a partition but I have been unable to get it to boot.
Well M$ wHinders does not like to be second. Not one bit! If it is anywhere but the first primary partition, you will have to tell grub to hide the partitions that come before it. Assuming this is the first hard drive in your system, and that wHindersME is on the second partion, insert into /boot/grub/grub.conf a line that goes "hide (hd0,0)" before the lines that hand the booting off to wHindersME. Also, make the wHindersME partition the active boot partition. But be sure to unhide the hidden partitions during subsequent boots. If wHindersME is not on the first physical drive, it will be necessary to swap drives. You can do that physically, or just tell grub to do it. Here's an example of two of the entries in my grub.conf:
title M$ wHinders 95 (hde1) # if hde is the second physical HDD, it is hd1 in grub unhide (hd1,0) <--- This gets hidden by another boot map (hd0) (hd1) <--- These two lines tell grub to swap the map (hd1) (hd0) first two physical HD's in BIOS' report rootnoverify (hd1,0) <--- This is necessary to boot M$ wHinders chainloader +1 <--- This tells grub to read 1st sector (of hda2) boot <--- This tells grub, "OK, let her rip." title M$ wHinders 98 (hda2) hide (hd0,0) <--- This hides hda1 unhide (hd0,1) <--- This ensures that hda2 is UNhidden unhide (hd1,0) <--- This gets hidden by another boot unhide (hd2,0) <--- As does this rootnoverify (hd0,1) <--- This is necessary to boot M$ wHinders chainloader +1 <--- This tells grub to read 1st sector (of hda2) makeactive <--- This activates the boot flag of hda2 boot <--- This tells grub, "OK, let her rip."
