Here's the latest... I moved the Call of Duty 2 installation (.wine folder) from the Ubuntu virtualbox to the native Kubuntu and tried starting the game. The audio played but no video. I quit the program and tried adding some code I found on the web to get COD2 working to one of the .wine config files. That helped to get the intro sequence but I did not get the menus after the intro. I looked at my hardware drivers and had not realized that the Nvidia drivers were not active. I activated the driver and restarted and was able to run COD2. It runs very well, even at the highest resolution. Next, I tried installing Battlefield 1942 but the program aborted during the first checks on installation. I saw that a new version of wine was recently released and I upgraded to wine 1.1.24. I tried installing Battlefield 1942 and did not run into any problems. The installation started fine. Unfortunately I do not have enough space left on /home to install it but I got much farther than the previous attempts. I believe it probably would have installed without any issues. It appears that I had a video driver problem coupled with some other problem with the previous release of wine (1.1.23). All seems to work now. Thanks again for all your help, Freddie
