newbie Question

Hi Everyone. I'm new to using Wine and haven't been able to
successfully install a Windows program yet. I have Wine installed on a
FreeBSD machine. My only attempt at an installation so far has been to
try and install Photoshop Elements 4.0. I run "/cdrom wine Setup.exe"
frome the command line, and the installation wizard appears and proceeds
normally until "finish". At that point a Photoshop icon has been placed
on the desktop. When I click on the icon the welcome screen appears and
asks me which feature of the program I want to use. When I click on any
of the choices another screen appears which is totally white, and that's
as far as it gets. I have tried the installation on a couple of
occasions, but the end result is always the same. The program just
won't load. I have the feeling that this is pilot error, but I'm not
sure what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the thread. It looks like a dead end for me at this stage,
but I'll keep monitoring the situation.
