I got Wine onto my computer. Now I have a bunch of .exe files and I can't get much of anything done. I saw a file named Start.exe, double-clicked it and got the following from Archive Manager: End of Central directory signature not found How do I get past this? I need to get Wine going so I can download a whiteboard application I need to tutor for Brainfuse.com.

Right click on the .exe and in the menu it gives you there should be an option for "open with wine windows program loader" or something similar. Try that and see what happens. If you get any errors that way search for the program name at http://appdb.winehq.org/ and follow any instructions there for getting the program to work. If you still get errors post here again and include what program you are trying to use, what version of wine you are using, your video card type and driver version, what distribution of linux you are using, and what the problem/error messages are. Good luck!
Vielen danke! Muchichimas gracias! Kam samni da! Merci Beaucoup! And Domo Arigato! It worked like a champ and now I can spend tomorrow night making money instead of nursing my computer! If you were closer I'd owe you a beer!
I wish I could show you a screen shot but the Quick Connect Whiteboard is supposedly proprietary so I could be fired or sued or both for showing it to you unless you are signed up with Brainfuse. I was hoping that WINE would solve my problems here but it's just giving me new ones.
