The vast majority of settings on your system should be changed using the configuration tools that come packaged with your OS and distribution. Windows control panels are unsupported applications, and their behavior may be unreliable, erratic, or destructive. |
In addition to the tools that are installed by software installers, CrossOver provides several built-in control panel tools.
winecfg. Wine config provides access to a wide range of bottle configuration settings. This tool is occasionally useful for solving issues with system integration -- if you contact tech support, you may be instructed to make changes via winecfg.
taskmgr. The task manager will display a list of processes running within a bottle. This tool may be useful to selectively halt programs which have stopped responding.
reboot. Some Windows applications require a system reboot to complete certain tasks. Also, occasionally, Windows programs get stuck in indeterminate states where their behavior is erratic or unreliable. Both of these problems can be addressed without rebooting your system -- just launch the reboot tool and simulate a reboot within a specific bottle.
