Ok. Austin i have somewhere to start. 
First: what do you recommend as a fix for the graphics drivers?
Can I reinstall the drivers and recover? if so, your suggested steps 1-2-3..??

Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error.. 
I'm afraid i've no experience running a compile..
I don't know the first step...
What could have messed up Ubuntu in the first place? 
I don't remember, but I could have run sudo something that sholdn't have been...is that it?


Third: I like your solution for capturing the errors from wincfg.
If nothing else, at least I can put up those errors here, for analysis and a narrowing down of the problem.

All in all, I really do thank you for your help. Especially on this holiday..
Appreciate it very much
