Silly idea, but just might work

What if I copied my C:\Windows Directory from my Windows box to Wine's C:\Windows directory? Would it work any better?

NO. It will definitely work worse. There are many native dlls that do
not work on wine.

No. Don't do this! Instead tell us what isn't working right for you and we
will try to help.

Well I can't get Lego Racers 1 to work. It installs fine but when I try to start it, it does not work.

Read the sticky. Wine version? Terminal output?

1) Read the FAQ so my instructions are meaningful
2) clean your prefix
3) install your app
4) run your app in a terminal and post the text output. If it is huge
put it on pastebin and link it here.

Hi,

Looking up Lego Racers in the AppDB (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=29508) it says that it crashes when displaying the video. Is this what you are experiencing?

The comments there suggest that you can pass a -novideo option to the application to get it working (without the videos, of course).

There is already a bug for that issue (see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12675, referenced from the AppDB entry).

Does this help?

Ok, hello everyone. I have installed Wine on a new Computer never had Wine on it before. I have added no native dll's or anything. Apparently Wine with no DLL's did not help because I did not even finish setup (got half way threw) Here is the Log from the terminal:

barney@barney-desktop:~$ cd /media/cdrom0

BTY:

Reece: on my other computer, how do you pass a -novideo option?

You will break Wine and maybe few laws in the process.

This is NOT recommended for these two reasons and more.
