System Admin for Simon the Sorceror IV

[ragados]

Hi there, I am a new Linux user running Mandriva One 2008 on a Laptop and have just tried to install Simon the Sorcerer IV onto it in WINE (my first wine install), it all went well however when I try to run the game it is telling me that I need to be logged in as the system user. I am just not sure how to do this. any advice would be great.
Cheers

What Wine version? Please post terminal output running your program: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de32 ... 52258551a4

Trying to run it:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost princess]# wine start 'C:\Program Files\Simon the Sorcerer - Chaos happens\simon4.exe'

NEVER EVER run Wine (or anything else for that matter) as root!
Login as regular user and reinstall your program.
