wine users - Sep 2009 - World of Warcraft installed on Windows-trying to run onLinux

Hello,

I know there's quite a lot of topics regarding WoW and Wine, but I
did'nt find any where WoW was installed on Windows and trying to run on
Linux with WINE.
So I have WoW installed on Windows XP (I'm not playing retail but private
server if that makes any difference), and exactly it's WoW 3.1.3. When I try
to run it with WINE, there appears a black screen, mouse cursor from WoW and
sound from intro, but the screen does'nt change at all, so I can't do
anything :/ Is there any way to run it or do I have to install it on Linux?

Thx in advance

I am not sure I understand this. I think you are saying that you have 
your computer dual booted with Windows and Linux, that you have WoW 
installed and working on the Windows partition, and that you are trying 
to play WoW while booted into Linux by using the files and set up from 
the Windows partition. Is that right?

Yep, exactly.
