What if I copied my C:\Windows Directory from my Windows box to Wine's C:\Windows directory? Would it work any better?

Well I can't get Lego Racers 1 to work. It installs fine but when I try to start it, it does not work.
Ok, I will be back in about 30 min. Thanks guys!
Hi, Looking up Lego Racers in the AppDB (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9757&iTestingId=29508) it says that it crashes when displaying the video. Is this what you are experiencing? The comments there suggest that you can pass a -novideo option to the application to get it working (without the videos, of course). There is already a bug for that issue (see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12675, referenced from the AppDB entry). Does this help? - Reece
