Hello!

I downloaded POM on my Macbook air, and i worked fine, but when i downloaded it on my brothers mac it opened thousands of xquartz windows and i could not choose any other window than the Xquartz window.

Can anyone help me?
Please answer

It's a bug : Install this : http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.6.1.dmg

Ok, works fine now. Thx

Sorry for the problem, I'll try to see where does the problem come from and fix it when i have the time

I'm having the same issue. Tried downloading XQuartz from the link above, and installing that, but when I run POM I'm still having the same symptom? I tried to run the POM uninstaller as well, but it's hanging on me too. :-( Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Oh.. and I'm running OS X 10.6.7 on a MacBook Pro

What happen if you run POM from a terminal ?

cd /Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/MacOS/
./playonmac

Give all the errors here

Hey! thanx for listening :-) Here's the error output. Looks like it can't find an X-server running on my Mac.:

Can you try to run XQuartz before ?

Applications -> Utilites

i ran that, and the screen went blank except for an xterm window. ran ps to find the process and killed it, and my desktop came back.

Here's a snippet from the system.log:

Retry to run pom

Hey! Now we're getting somewhere! POM came up just fine. I was able to run the installer for the Original StarCraft, but now the window size is only about 1/4th of my screen. Is there a way to adjust that window. I would like to keep it as a separate window so I can minimize it, or have other windows open if need be, but would like to be able to either adjust the size or install it with a slightly larger one. Is there a way to do that?

thanx again for your help. :-)

RIght click on your game icon, and use "Configure wine", you'll be able to set a virtual desktop

hmm.. I can change the resolution, but when I start it, the actual window size stays the same. Any way I can adjust that window? It would be great if I could change the window size dynamically and the app would adjust accordingly, but I'm not sure if that's possible within this virtual desktop. Thoughts? Suggestions?

thanx~

Nope it's not possible because the resolution is controled by the game

well, hey! thank you SO MUCH For your help. I really appreciate it :-)

You're welcome ;)
