    Resetting Windows-version in Wine

    I used winecfg and set up Windows 3.1 just to try something out. Now, nothing in Wine works. (Including winecfg) All I get is a message:
    Code:
    MSVCRT.DLL for Win32
    Error: MSVCRT.DLL is not compatible with Win32s.
    Is there some config file I can manually change it back to XP or 2000?

    Thanks!

    Edit: Really weird, actually Google Earth works... But not iexplore or Firefox win edition.

    Seems to change here in ~/.wine/user.reg:

    Code:
    [Software\\Wine] 
    "Version"="****"
    where **** is whatever windows version it emulates. Change it to win2k for example.

    So is "win2k" the exact value for making it act like Windows 2000?

    (There should be a comment with the various options in this file.)
