Okay, looks like I will have to do a total reinstall of the OS as I have somehow managed to screw things up for my admin user account with this also. Things like the software centre don?t seem to be working in my admin account, returning all sorts of errors when I tried to run it from the terminal and I'm not nearly qualified to try and fix everything. I think it will be easier and quicker to just start again (really not looking forward to it though). I can not believe I managed to screw things up this badly all because I added a space between / and .wine (what a tool!!) Let this be a lesson to anyone out there as dumb as me, if your not sure check & double check!!! still cant believe it, I knew it didn?t seem correct but did it anyway...
