I am new to WINE, and Unix-based systems in General. I have up until recently been using Windows XP Home, but after installing Spore, SecuROM was also installed onto Ring 0 of the Kernel and has pretty much fried my computer. Apparently, because of where it installed itself, it interfered with other programs and now I can't get anything to work right. So I switched to Ubuntu 8.10 for 64-bit

I'm a first-time Linux and Wine user, and I don't understand how to run Wine yet. I have Mint Elyssa, and I am trying to install Spore. When I try to run autorun.exe, this message appears: Error starting autorun program: Permission Denied I got this same message before and after installing Wine. Does this have anything to do with Securom, or am I just not understanding Wine?

Another fortnight, another Winetricks. This release fixes a handful of bugs, and adds a handful of games (or, really, ports them from wisotool). It also brings back the old verb dotnet20sp2, since that seems to work with wine-1.3.18 (please let me know if it's useful). It also adds a rudimentary gui to prompt for Steam username and password, cleans up the --help message, and improves mac and

Alright.. so.. it seems the newly released game, spore, almost works with wine.. with a few exceptions.. there is some graphical errors that apparently seems to be able to be fixed. I found a place on the internet where a guy have posted a blog entry on how to make it working... except.. I cant seem to figure out how to follow that guide. See it here: http://ericbetts.org/node/91 Can anyone

I noticed while backing up my MacBook's /Users after I bricked it is this: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/SPORE Creature Creator Preferences/wineserver-HOSTNAME.DNS.TLD-USERNAME then I noticed the SPORE Creature Creator also had dlls and other win32 stuff Am I crazy or SPORE Creature Creator for Mac is just normal Spore Creature Creator with Transgaming? PS. the bricking of my MacBook

Hi. I'm using Fedora 9 (x86_64) and Wine 1.1.5. I updated my kernel today (my kernel version is 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64), and since then Spore stopped working (crashing at startup). I found a log file in Spore's folder, and uploaded it to my server.

Hi, While running Spore (steam version) on 1.1.42 with a GeForce 8600GT on Arch Linux x86-64, everything worked fine except for occasional DxDllReg.exe crashes. I have since replaced the card with an ATi Radeon HD4800 and the user interface now unbearably flickers, garbles (inflated bits of text and other UI elements appearing randomly) and generally looks far from correct (to the point where I

Always when I try to run any program protected by SecuRom I get this message: Code: A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (7000). Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000 for further, more detailed information. I've read SecuRom works in Wine, so why doesn't it work for me?

I upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, and Wine 1.1.8 some time last week, and then reinstalled Spore to give it some play. It worked fine for a couple of days, but now I'm in the space stage and the game is incredibly sluggish. This wasn't happening beforehand, it was running fast and marvellously smooth until I tried to stop a war on my home planet. This appears to be a recurring theme,

Hello, I've just installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Deluxe (I think it's called 'Platinum' in the US, the version with both addons) on my Kubuntu 8.04 partition with Wine 0.9.59. The installation works fine, but when I try to start the game, the following error message appears: "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See www.securom.com/copy for more

I'm running linux mint 9 and the latest version of wine. Whenever I try to run spore, it says "Starting Spore tm" and then after a minute it goes away and nothing happens. I'm new to linux and I don't know how to program things like in the terminal

I figured I''d post here before submitting a ticket, but I''m seeing some confusing stuff when dealing with YAML now. I was using it to freeze objects in my database, and so i had some data already around to mess with. I upgraded both Ruby (1.8.3 -> 1.8.4) and Rails ( -> 1.1RC1) and this junk started. I''ve outlined the problem in two pastes, which I''ll

My config: OpenSUSE 11.1 Wine 1.1.39 I installed successfully an original software to learn English (24/7 English Course, Porto Editora, Portugal). But when I try to execute, I get this messages: Code: wine start.exe ALSA lib pcm.c:2165:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so ALSA lib pcm.c:2165:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared

Bah! Okay, so I'm running WINE v1.1.43 on Mac OS X.6.3. Now, I went and bought myself a copy of Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition), but it's got smelly SecuROM in it, which I understand WINE supports? However, whenever I try to run one of the "protected" (from customers) programs it complains that there is no disk. The disk however is there alright, and I have a mapping for

hi guys :) I would like to play SPORE with wine. I have read a lot of commands that this should be possible with the current wine build (witch special patch). My problem is, that SPORE doesn't like my graphiccard. So it alerts that my GC isn't supported by the game. Is it possible to change the graphiccard ID string, that wine will given to the game? greets from germany Hauke

Another two months, another winetricks release. (So much for release early, release often :-) Highlights: - fixes a bunch of verbs whose download URLs had changed, especially vcrun2005 and vcrun2008. - fixes the annoying "unexpanded variable" error which happened when running old wine with a new wineprefix. - brings back gog support (though without automated download for now; any

I trying to play my games Oblivion and Spore. I almost got oblivion to work but when I click create new game it freezes and forces me to quit it, not to mention it's really slow and skips. It's not my computer because it exceeds the requirements by far. And then spore won't even start.

Here's my main reply: http://pastebin.com/3zq1r9pF . Basically I say that two tools, WhatChanged and RegShot, might not only help this situation out, but help get other programs to work in WINE. Also, I have links to other places in there and explain a little about SecuROM and why you need the disc (or emulate a disc) to START the game, but you can take it out later. Myth 11 and WINE's

What on earth has happened to spore. It used to work fine with wine 1.1.12, no real problems. Picked it up today to have a game and nothing, it tries to load and don't even get to the front screen. I have wine 1.1.16 and have downgraded to 1.1.13 with no joy. I have Nvidia graphics driver 177, downgraded to 173 and no joy. That is a shame, I did enjoy that game and now it's not working.
