Hi All, I'm trying Ubuntu 9.04 these days and Wine to help me with some Win applications. 2-3 days ago I installed Ares and Wine worked perfectly. Since then I can't make it work anymore. When I download an .exe application Wine just 'shakes' my screen but does nothing more. I've even tried the 'Open with Wine' option and I get the same result. Any clue on what can be happening? J.
