There are a couple of issues with Rhapsody hanging at startup. The first occurs before Rhapsody displays any interface. This issue is most prevalent on computers with multiple processors or hyperthreading turned on. This is not a bug in Crossover Office, but a bug in Rhapsody. The only solution is to run:
killall -9 wine-preloader
and rerun, starting a CPU-intensive process in the background just beforehand. Running the following CPU-intensive script is usually sufficient:
#!/bin/bash
while true ; do echo foo ; done
The CPU-intensive process may be terminated once Rhapsody has started up.
The second occurs when Rhapsody is trying to login. It will display the logging in dialog, but then make no progress. There is no known workaround, other than to kill the wine process as listed above and rerun.
