You don't give much info to go on, so I googled and found a web site [1]. I picked a free game at random [2], downloaded it and tried installing it into a freshly created with "wineprefixcreate" .wine folder. The game installed without a problem (fixme:'s are not problems). When I tried to run the game wine presented a dialog that said I needed Mozilla ActiveX controls and offered to download & install them. The download worked, however the install _FAILED_ . I found a web site [3] with troubleshooting tips. It suggested I was missing two dlls, MSVCP60.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL. I downloaded the zip file [4] and unzipped it into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system . Reran the game, wine presented the same dialog about ActiveX. This time it downloaded & installed properly. The game started, ran and played. Score one for 0.9 wine.
