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 set of instructions for this?

Thanks; I have it installed, at least. Now I can get as far as running it, but it asks me to connect to the internet to verify that I own the software, even though I am fully connected to the internet. How can I fix or bypass this?
