Yesterday my computers hard drive was supposedly destroyed because of windows as dell tech help told me over the phone. My friend came over today and introduced me to ubuntu and wine. My computer is working wonderfully on this os but I have a problem. I bought elder scrolls III on steam yesterday 20 minutes before my computer crashed. I don't really know the first thing about computers. I have steam installed but when i try to open elder scrolls steam brings up a menu that says launching game then that text goes away and nothing happens. Please help thank you

Please help thank you.This has been discussed, very recently, on the forum. One thing I really hate discussing is PLEASE READ THE NEW USERS STICKY BEFORE POSTING TO THE FORUM. It provides great hints and ideas before posting. Please read the Applications Database entry on this game and see if any information provided there will be of assistance: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1015 James
I have tried all day searching for what you saw but I can't find anything that helps. I have seen many posts containing the same problem I have but all that I have found say that the problem has already been answered. I am using playonlinux and I am currently using wine version 1.3.24. I am using ubuntu. I have no idea how to execute a game through steam using the terminal either. If you can help I would love it if you post if not I can just live without it for now.
