So im new to ubuntu and for the past 3 days iv been trying to get wow to run on my pc. after what i thought was the end of all my troubles now when i hit play it opens up a blackscreen and then nothing happens. and i have to restart my computer for it to go away. can someone out there please help me?
another thing... im not running any version of windows... my pc had a virus so i restored it and my windows vista got removed... so i found a windows xp 30 day trial and installed that and then installed ubuntu... so is there anything special i have to do if im not running any version of windows just straight ubuntu??
You don't need to have any version of Windows installed to play WoW using wine. Take a look through the information and posts at these sites: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18555 http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine/Troubleshooting and see if anything there helps. If not, or if you have other questions to post back to the list/forum, please include what version of wine you are using, what version of Ubuntu, what type of video card and video driver you have, and any error messages you get when trying the program (if you get any).
