I have just installed Call of Duty 4 in Wine on Ubuntu 7.10 and that went fine but during installation of DirectX it said, "An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine problem." And that the installation had failed. Then When I try to run the game, it says, "Error during initialization: Video card or driver doesn't support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code path" Please tell me what is wrong and how to fix it. I am using Wine 1.0. Thanks,

thanks, will do. Just one more thing, i'm new to linux, i'm 4 days in. Could u pls explain how exactly i would upgrade my wine. When i try do it from the add / remove programs list i get some strange error about missing dependencies or something. Could u maybe send me a link that i could just click on to upgrade it? Thanks
You can enable automatic updates from the http://wine.budgetdedicated.com repository. The best way to do this is by going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager then Settings > Repositories then Select the Third Party Software tab and click Add. Enter deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main and Add Source Just two problems. As mentioned, the latest version for Gutsy (7.10) is probably only Wine1.0.0. Also, update manager will complain that Wine is Not Authenticated. There is a way to download the authentication key - I did it once a while ago and have forgotten the way. Perhaps someone else can help you with that. Tony
Thanks so much for the help. I downloaded the latest one for debian etch and it worked perfectly. Only problem is the game runs a little slow but i did expect that. Is it possible to create a paging file in linux as one can in windows to increase my virtual memory and hopefully improve performance?
There is no paging file in Linux, but when your system was installed there should have been created a "swap" partition which functions similarly to a paging file, but is actually much faster, since the partition format is specifically designed for "paging" as opposed to regular file manipulation.
