What version of Wine? If it's not the latest development release (currently
1.1.35), upgrade. If that doesn't fix it, run it from a terminal and post
whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

Thanks  for the reply, I am using wine 1.1.35, the terminal message is:-
The program DECABC.Exe has encountered a problem. It has place an icon on the
desktop. when I open the program it starts then shows the above message.
any help would and avice will be good. Ihave only been using Linux for three
weeks so not quite up to the mark with it yet.

many thanks

That is not the terminal message. That is the GUI crash dialog, and it does not
provide any useful information.

Follow the instructions I linked you to for running from the terminal, copy
whatever messages appear in the terminal, and paste them here.

I have followed you instructions and typed in the terminal as you suggested and
get the message that the program does not exist. advise please.

You were probably not in the folder that contained the executable.
Please post the exact error message and the complete commands that you
typed.
