@miambilistore, if you return to this thread does this help explain what you are seeing?
Thanks for this, PaulW2U. It certainly looked (maybe still looks) promising; but I've been all over the pages and links and meself haven't got there yet. I'll report here if I figure it out.

Meanwhile...you mention you don't use WINE; I have a couple old .exe's that I don't know how to run without (shudder) installing Windows on another partition. Any suggestions?

Thanks again and in advance.
