Hello, I am a new Linux user and in order to transfer over I really need to get ACT! 6.0 working on Wine. I have successfully installed Wine and then installed ACT! into the virtual C drive in wine. However, when I run the ACT! program it works fine for about 1 minute and then crashes and grays out. Is there any way to fix this problem? My current configuration is for Microsoft 98 and the library is set to msvcrt (Native, Builtin) Thanks for your help! Carrie

Hello Vitamin, thanks for your help. Yes I did install ACT! through the terminal. I am running version 1.2.2 of wine. I followed the Ubuntu instructions for installing a program onto wine. Installing Windows Applications With Wine To install Windows applications using Wine, follow these instructions: 1. Download the Windows application from any source (e.g. download.com). Download the .EXE (executable). 2. Place it in a convenient directory (e.g. the desktop, or home folder). 3. Open the terminal, and cd into the directory where the .EXE is located. 4. Type wine the-name-of-the-application.extension (e.g. wine realplayer.exe). I followed these instructions substituting the ACT! files into the commands. The installer ran and completed successfully. Then, I configured the wine program to Windows 98 and in the library I selected the drop-down option of msvcrt (Native, Builtin). I then whent to applications, wine, ACT! and opened it. It ran fine for a minute, but then froze. Now I can not even get wine to open ACT at all.
I re-ran the installation process through the terminal. This is the result.

So, I guess the installation was not actually successful, but I dont know how to
fix it.
