Find the terminal/console program somewhere on your menu. I don't use Ubuntu, so I can't tell you exactly where it is. In the terminal, change directories to the directory where you have installed Sim City 4. If you installed to the default directory, the command would look something like Code: cd "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Maxis/SimCity 4 Deluxe/Apps" substituting your username for "user." Then run the program with Code: wine "SimCity 4.exe" Copy whatever messages appear in the terminal/console window to your clipboard and post them here.
