If it's not the latest development release (currently 1.3.25), upgrade. If it doesn't work in the latest development release, run it from a terminal and post the output. If the output is long, use pastebin and post a link. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

Put the path in double quotes. Also, it is recommended that you navigate to the directory first (using cd): Code: cd "/home/coffee/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Nancy Drew/Waverly.exe" Another tip: ~ is shorthand for your home directory (so in your case, ~ is equal to /home/coffee).
[/code]coffee at coffee-desktop:~$ cd "/home/coffee/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Nancy Drew/Waverly.exe" bash: cd: /home/coffee/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Nancy Drew/Waverly.exe: No such file or directory coffee at coffee-desktop:~$ Code:
I made a mistake. Obviously Waverly.exe is not a directory, so leave that out. :P After that, do wine Waverly.exe.
