First: This may or may not be a Wine problem but moving files into the
Documents directory on a Macintosh should be approached with extreme caution.
Most games save files in a specific directory. I found saved games in
$HOME/<program name> and in directories in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\
Files/<Program Name>. >It just kept loading the blue virtual desktop and then crashing!!! I cant

This is not a Wine problem and Apple may actually tell you that this was a bad
idea in the first place.

Sorry, but you might have to go to Mike's web site and file an issue in the
Trac that he runs if removing the saved games files from your Documents folder
does not work. Mike will file an issue if there is a detectible problem with
the Wine code.
