hi thanks for reply. I cannot drop the quotation marks, cause there are a few spaces at the folders.... I think the syntax i correct, there´s no error message. I start form console my screen is setting the resolution (800x600x32) and nothing happens. I can use this syntax to change into gta´s directory: cd "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas" then : wine gta_sa.exe and the game starts. If i use this syntax: wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/gta_sa.exe" the game dosen´t start! So we can say the game starts when i´m in it´s directory (/GTA San Andreas/)
