wine users - Jan 2012 - wine 1.3.7 / crashes pulling linux desktop down ?

I'm running the latest wine dev package. I've got a number of .exe
programs that show installation complete. When clicking on finish button...both
programs get so far as to briefly show their first display page, but then
disappears taking the linux desktop down back to the desktop login page.

I've got an x86_64 amd64 system running Debian Squeeze, 32MB ram, terra byte
HD.

My WINE is setup as the 32bit version.

I've checked the following:

directory permissions
tried various settings for windows setting.
installed various things using winetricks
updated the .NET program
gecko is installed

I do have two(2) windows programs working properly.

The program I really need to work is "MetaTrader" which
is a Forex program that was working prior to this upgrade
of wine.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem
might be ? .....and a possible solution. I've spent 2 weeks
trying to trouble shoot this problem.

Sincerely,

WhiteHawk

That's X crashing; Wine is a user-level app and can't do that by itself,
but it can expose bugs in other things that can, such as your graphics driver.
Try reinstalling your graphics driver, and make sure you have the necessary 32
bit parts.

What kind of video card do you have in your computer?  If it is an
nVidia/AMD/ATI card you will have to install the propriatery drivers
vice the open-source ones as the open source drivers are missing
pieces for running Wine.  X desktop crashes are an indicator that this
may be what is happening.  During the installation, please also select
the 32 bit extensions as you are using the 32 bit version of Wine.

Hi Fr??d??ric Delanoy.....I really have 32MB  of RAM...plus a dual core cpu
chip.

   My original motherboard croaked, and I built an entirely new system from
scratch except for the tower case...and one smaller hd...and two dvd drives.

Install the proprietary drivers, if they exist for your card. The symptoms you
describe strongly suggest a buggy graphics driver.
