you can't install the X11 from the website, its only for 10.3

to install it, pop in the OS install CD, a window will open, scroll down, double click the "optional installs" file, check X11, and complete the install

BTW, darWINE is a bit behind WINE/Linux, i find WINE/Linux much more usable, and boot into Linux if i need to run an exe, i have yet to see anything work with darWINE, but WINE/Linux works great

Thanks! That did it.

But if WH.app gets an error and can't install the .exe programs, what does that mean? Right now I'm trying to install my CorelPainter8 from my last Windows computer, but it keeps saying it failed to register and get the serial number, but nothing pops up to ask for the serial or anything.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks to everyone who helped me. I'm not very computer savvy.
