Problems with wine
I have installed wine on more than one occasion and well...my screen flickers and then nothing....however, the window to configure wine opens but nothing else opens: simply my screen flickers and nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am new to linux but i love it.

Re: Problems with wine
What are you trying to run in wine? Wine does not open by itself per-say, it works in the background allowing you to install some Windows programs.Mickey wrote:I have installed wine on more than one occasion and well...my screen flickers and then nothing....however, the window to configure wine opens but nothing else opens: simply my screen flickers and nothing.

Not everything that is a windows application or an OS will install with wine
--to install a windows OS, you are better off using a VM or mulitbooting, since that will more closely match the required windows OS system hardware, not as wine does simply emulate the windows API, and without directX support (usually needed for games)
