New user to ubuntu and wine...almost ready to throw in the towel and revert to Win 7...except I do not like Microsoft and beleive that we need to support an alternative Anyway I can't get Gecko to install correctly straight up or using the alternative installation instructions (cab regedit etc.) Attached is a copy of the terminal report showing where I have been and the outcome of the instructions Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get Sim's 3 up and running for my kids.
