I recently had to uninstall PokerStars and WINE will not allow me to preform the reinstallation. I have also tried installing other programs with no success. I contacted PokerStars support but they said it'll be at least 2 days before their Linux guy was in. What they wanted was my WINE log files by going in through the terminal. Thats all they could tell me until 2 days from now. I have no clue how to access my WINE log files from the terminal. Also, is there any way to unclog WINE. I dont know WINE terminology but I think maybe its full or something and wont install anymore programs.
To get a log file: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4 Wine's uninstaller works poorly; you're probably right about something being left behind that's preventing reinstallation. Delete or rename your ~/.wine directory, then reinstall the program. A new ~/.wine will be recreated automatically.
Am I suppose to log in as root first? Also, do I enter "$ cd ".wine/drive_c/Games/Tron" and then "$ wine tron.exe > log.txt 2>&1" because I already tried that and all I get is something saying. "bash: cd: /home/user/.wine/fake_windows/programs: No such file or directory". Im not that familiar with Linux or the terminal and am not sure how to input these commands properly.
Ofcoarse I know that and ive tried all that. I get the same message. Can you tell me step by step what to do. Like I said, when I type in "$ cd ".wine/drive_c/Games/PokerStars" all I get is tihs message. "bash: cd: /home/user/.wine/fake_windows/programs: No such file or directory". Am I not entering something properly, im following the exact directions.
Also, where does it say user in any of the commands?

"bash: cd: /home/user/.wine/fake_windows/programs: No such file or directory".Is ".wine/drive_c/Games/PokerStars" the actual path to your program, or are you just copying the example? Most Windows programs nowadays create a subdirectory for themselves under Program Files. You have to find out where the program actually is, then cd to that directory.
