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?

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

PS. the bricking of my MacBook

Hi everyone I used to have Linux Mint 8 Helena and World of Warcraft patch 3.2.x, like less than a year ago I play on private servers (just because there's no way of payment for blizzard servers from Peru), and i had a bad experience with wine 1.0 (or 1.1.33, i can't remember - the thing is that wine 1.2 wasn't released) My FPS were like 19-20 when in windows it goes at 60-65, in

I have tried a few rtimes now to install Abobe PS7 (not a crack) on the latest Linux Mint and now on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. I am having the same problem in both. Is it because my new comp is a 64bit?

Hello--As a noob to both Linux (Ubuntu) and Wine, I'd like to request advice: After installing Ubuntu 10.04 fr/LiveCD, I installed Wine 1.1.42, included w/10.04. Wine now appears on the Ubuntu Applications menu, so it appears I'm ready to start. I need to use Office 2000, for which I have an original CD w/Product key. I read the Wine FAQ section 3, Installing Applications, but have a

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.

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

Hello all, I'm pretty much a newbie in linux, and I'm trying to play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on Linux Mint 12. I installed wine-1.2.3 according to the readme file (I hope). command: Code: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Bethesda\ Softworks/Oblivion/OblivionLauncher.exe gives: Code: err:wgl:opengl_error No OpenGL support compiled in. err:d3d_caps:WineD3D_CreateFakeGLContext

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.

There's an old Ubisoft game called "Hype the Time Quest". For many Wine versions, Wine could not get past the Hype installer. It would go up to 117% and fail. Then a version came where if you unchecked the DirectX check, the install would work (or maybe that's all you had to do to begin with). But the game would fail to start with an error about MaiD3Dvr_bleu.exe. Then a Wine

I am trying to find a program that will let me run programs designed for earlier windows (95/98) on Vista 64 bit (specifically Lords of Magic, an old PC game - the patches that make the game playable will not install on a 64 bit Vista OS). I know this is a cross platform sort of program, and was wondering if any of you knew if it would work. Thanks for any help or insight.

so I understand it's now called "Wine Is Not an Emulator", after being called "Windows Emulator" back in the day. anyway -- it's a great piece of software. but I have a question: actually I'll ask by a practical example. say I install 7-Zip under Wine, and archive some things. question is: how will the performances compare to what I'd get under Windows?

Hey, Ive just replaced Windows 7 on my laptop with Ubuntu Natty.

Looking at: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10591 What are the steps to install this application? Yes, it's a garbage application, but I'd like to at least give it a go. Looks like msiexec apparently isn't the right approach. Should that be through wcmd instead? thufir at ARRAKIS:~/.wine/drive_c$ thufir at ARRAKIS:~/.wine/drive_c$ msiexec

Has anyone successfully installed Airfoil in wine? When I install it (Linux distro: Mint/Ubuntu 11), wine complains about .NET 2 missing. But it seems to install this automatically without problems.

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
