7.1. What to do if some program still doesn't work?

There are times when you've been trying everything, you even killed a cat at full moon and ate it with rotten garlic and foul fish while doing the Devil's Dance, yet nothing helped to make some damn program work on some Wine version. Don't despair, we're here to help you... (in other words: how much do you want to pay ?)

7.1.10. Check out further information

Go to Google Groups and check whether some guys are smarter than you ;-) (well, whether they found a solution to the problem, that is) Go to WineHQ's Application Database and check whether someone posted the vital config hint for your app. If that doesn't help, then consider going to irc.freenode.net channel #WineHQ, posting to news:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine or mailing to the wine-users (or maybe sometimes even wine-devel) mailing lists.

7.1.11. Debug it!

Have you used the Search feature of the Wine Troubleshooting Guide ?? (i.e. are you sure there's no answer ?) If you have, then try The Perfect Enduser Wine Debugging Guide, and of course don't forget to read the Wine Developers Guide.
