    If all those steps are needed in Mint 19 to get Wine working, my view is that it's not right yet. Just a few clicks in 18.3 and Wine works.

    However, I still have 19 on a drive and I will probably try your instructions.

    I can swap drives so easily now with the bay I linked in post 1545, great fun!

    I also use Irfanview.
    As mentioned WineHQ have yet to push it out to the various public repositories. Once they do it will only be a few clicks. The process then will essentially be a batch process that involves all the commands I laid out. Either way you get it. The commands are not a hack, it is what anyway goes on in the background.

    Remember also that the repositories will often lag the versions actually available. Going to the source will get you the latest and greatest. If you want to live on the edge install the develop version instead of the stable version.

    I did all my testing in Hyper-V so no messing around with discs. As you say 'great fun'.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Bought a second one of these, the idea is to have two in the tower, a 2.5" drive in each, so that I can switch between operating systems by using the on/ off buttons on the drive bays.

    I know I could dual boot on a single drive, but I don't like that for various reasons.

    Can someone please help?

    I am running XP (for various reasons) with an SSD, either a Samsung 860 Evo 500GB or a Kingston SA400S37 480GB. I gather XP does not support trim. The Samsung Magician software with Trim (later versions), don't run on XP. The versions that do, don’t seem to support the 860 Evo.
    Is there any Trim software that can run on XP suitable for my SSD's?

    Have a look here to optimise your system for XP and a SSD. Maybe have a look at O&O defrag to see if that still supports XP.

    Thank you, I had already disabled "Optimize hard disk when idle" and "Drefagmentation". The link to the German? site, I can't read German, looks good. I found the download that does a few things to the registry, and have implemented them. I looked at O&O defrag and thought that this is not wanted as it's just a defrag program. I may be wrong in this.

    Thanks for your help.

    No Ad-Blockers in Chrome? Could be a problem.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
