similar to: Spore Won't start

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 just switched over to Ubuntu from Mint, and I've finally installed Wine successfully. However, even after checking the Wine Wiki, I can't figure out how to install/run Windows programs. (The one I'm trying to do right now is Spore.) I've been fiddling around with winecfg for a while and I haven't managed to do anything yet. Could someone please give me (or link me to) a clear

Hello Wine Users, I am thinking about buying the game "Das schwarze Auge: Drakensang" (German homepage (http://www.dsa-game.de/), English homepage (http://www.drakensang.info/)). But I will only do it if I am able to play it under Linux. Does someone have the game already and tried to get it running with Wine? Regards, Benjamin

I keep getting this message for some unknown reason "The program Adobe Flash CS4 Professional has encountered a problem and needs to close" Same for Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Any advice? I'm using wine 1.2rc6 with Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

I just installed steam+TMN and it seems to run quite well apart from sound. I tried switching to OSS and got not sound while on ALSA I get the occasional "click" and thats about it. Other software I have run through wine is WAR beta and WoW both of which play sound fine, so I suspect maybe Steam is holding up the sound device or something? I am on Ubuntu Hardy. I also used winetricks

Hi all, First, I would like to say, that I am a beginner to Wine and I hope I did not brake any rule.

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 found this wiki page (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2587) as well as few posts in these forums about this very issue that I am experiencing with DVD Decrypter on Wine 1.0.1 under Ubuntu/Intrepid. The wiki recommends adding the following to ~/.wine/config (which doesn't exist for me). I make a file called ~/,wine/config and inserted the below text but it

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.

Hi, I just downloaded Wine to try it out, and despite being a tinkerer with half a brain i cant figure out how to install windows games using it. I have looked online to no avail, the stuff i have read has not helped mostly because im trying to install a game from its DVD and Wine wont do it unless the EXE is given permission to install as a program and you cant edit files on the DVD as they are

Hi, I just wanted to verify the appdb rules/format so I correctly make my submissions in the future. I was surprised when I received an admin edit after submitting: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22285&iTestingId=59851 recently. The game worked completely flawlessly for me, so I submitted it as a "Platinum" rating. However, since I had to set Wine to
