Hello Vitamin, thanks for your help. Yes I did install ACT! through the terminal. I am running version 1.2.2 of wine. I followed the Ubuntu instructions for installing a program onto wine. Installing Windows Applications With Wine To install Windows applications using Wine, follow these instructions: 1. Download the Windows application from any source (e.g. download.com). Download the .EXE (executable). 2. Place it in a convenient directory (e.g. the desktop, or home folder). 3. Open the terminal, and cd into the directory where the .EXE is located. 4. Type wine the-name-of-the-application.extension (e.g. wine realplayer.exe). I followed these instructions substituting the ACT! files into the commands. The installer ran and completed successfully. Then, I configured the wine program to Windows 98 and in the library I selected the drop-down option of msvcrt (Native, Builtin). I then whent to applications, wine, ACT! and opened it. It ran fine for a minute, but then froze. Now I can not even get wine to open ACT at all.
