Okay I just installed the latest ver of Ubuntu and then installed the beta ver of Wine because the non-beta told me that it wouldn't install on AMD x 64 type computers.
So I just installed the beta Wine version and I can't get any programs to run at all using wine.
I also am having many pages on this forum stalling out, so i tried to read the user manual but i am not able to load it.
It appears that wine creates a dir of the programs on the windows area of the HD but why can't I just install the program I want to run through my ubuntu interface
Here is error code i get no matter what i try to run--other than the one notepad program that seems to be included with the wine program.
Thanks for any and all help!!!
