If it's not the latest development release (currently 1.1.35), upgrade. If that doesn't fix it, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal
Thanks for the reply, I am using wine 1.1.35, the terminal message is:- The program DECABC.Exe has encountered a problem. It has place an icon on the desktop. when I open the program it starts then shows the above message. any help would and avice will be good. Ihave only been using Linux for three weeks so not quite up to the mark with it yet. many thanks Alan Thompson

That is the GUI crash dialog, and it does not provide any useful information. Follow the instructions I linked you to for running from the terminal, copy whatever messages appear in the terminal, and paste them here.
I have followed you instructions and typed in the terminal as you suggested and get the message that the program does not exist. advise please. Alan Thompson
