wine users - Jun 2010 - Very weird behaviour after moving from 32 to 64 bit..

Today I decided to reintall Ubuntu on my PC, going from Lucid Linx 32 bit to a
clean install of the 64 bit version..

I'm a huge fan of casual games, and now I have a number of problems with
them.

At first I could get NOTHING to work, after a couple of tries I finally get
something to work, I can have Braid working, but I can't seem to make Plat
versus Zombies work, I managed to make Escape Rosecliff Island run (which I
previously couldn't) from the external hard drive where I had put the games,
but I couldn't make it run once I copied it on the Desktop.

Also, at times, when I (succesfully or unsuccesfully) launch a game and exit
even after a couple of seconds I find myself "logged out" of the
computer and all other applications running need to be restarted.

Any idea?

Should I just go back to the 32 bit version?

Go with 64 bit linux but 32 bit wine.

Reinstall your graphics drivers. Make sure you also install the necessary 32 bit
libraries. If you're not sure what packages to install, ask on your
distro's support forum.

Then that's already what I have. I wonder why I couldn't make the 64
version work.

Everything's kinda fine now tho.

Thanks for the inputs.
