That does help, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm now able to install games under wine. I have a question though. I've been getting a warning (though it hasn't stopped anything) and it goes like this... Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/usr/share', starting in the Windows directory. I hadn't see this before until I installed wine 0.9.9 Do I need to install a DOS drive? I thought windows had DOS (was DOS actually). Or is this something else? -----------------------Time Lapse----------------------- I just installed Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and got this error when it was done. It's on a little popup box and only has an "okay" button. "Error -2147024877" When I try to play the game, it tells me to insert the first disk (there's two disks, a gameplay disk and an install disk) and install the game. So I guess that error is fatal to the install. Any suggestions? By the way, thank you guys so much...
