So I started looking into the errors that popped up and tried some other things... one of them was using winetricks by downloading the script (http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks) and running Code: sh winetricks vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2005 after which I get the following output: Code: WINEPREFIX=~/wine_test wine winecfg fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling mixer Yet the problem persists. Unless I get some pointers on how to remedy this, I'll probably scrap my Ubuntu installation and start over fresh sometime soon. May be a good time to give Kubuntu a try...
