Yes, video drivers are important, but, as I said, same video driver allows me to run more recent and more video card demanding games, such as Jedi Academy, KOTOR, Toca RD3... Here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/harrypotterandthess/tech_info.html That should tell you that, unless I have a 10 years old PC, which is not the case, considering games I'm able to run, and considering: ... My system specs: AMD Athlon 64x2 4200+ 2 Gb RAM DDR2 ECS GeForce6100SM-M2 onboard video, 128 Mb Driver: Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (Recommended) PROPRIETARY 270.41.06 ... Harry Potter 1 should run flawlessly! And guess what? Harry Potter 2 (Chamber of Secrets), which is a more demanding game, installs and runs very well. Well, not quite as fast as in Windows XP, but at a quite acceptable frame rate. You say games run slower in Wine by definition. No, there are cases when they run much faster. I think the error in my case is more related to resolution somehow, first of all, than to anything else...
