Depending on the install type of Mandrake versions 9.2 and 10 CrossOver may fail to install or run your Windows applications. This is due to a bug in the Mandrake 2.4 kernel builds. The solution seems to be to upgrade to one of the Mandrake 2.6 kernels or to build your own kernel. Some users have reported problems even with the newer kernels that seem to be related to video card drivers or the Linux Standard Base support package being installed. If you still have problems after performing a kernel upgrade remove the LSB support package if it is installed or if you are running an NVidia or ATI card with vendor provided drivers try reverting back to the standard Mandrake driver.
