Open a terminal from Applications/Accessories and then type

wine regedit

- you will get a registry editor like in WIndows.

If you are not familiar with it, you can do:

- open the tree until you have wine selected;
- then right click and select New->Key (not so logical since you are making a folder, but it works)
- then right click on Direct3D, and choose New->String, and type VideoMemorySize
- finally right-click on entry you just created, and put your video memory size, which you can find with, e.g. nvidia X Server settings in menu System/Administration

Like i said, it wouldn't be a problem however Direct3D directory is not there is not there, so i cannot add anything to it. I wish i could attach a picture of the problem, but apparently i cannot

if someone could walk me step by step how to physically add that directory and then add the key in i would be endebted to you, thank you for posting a reply.

Create the keys as you find them missing, just as you would in windows.

I have no frame of reference as i have not ever changed on modified the HKCU or any other directory or subdirectory. If you could tell me how to create it an then add it in I will be good, but as i said Direct3D is not in the Wine section and i don't know how to add, i mean yes i know i need to add it, but just exactly how i do that i don't know.

- in a terminal, type regedit and hit enter
- open the tree to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine
- select Wine
- right click and select New->Key
- type Direct3D as the name of the new key
- hit enter

Ok, so i am getting closer however when i get to HKCU>software>Wine>Direct3D

i am confused as to what to do. I have done the following,
in terminal

wine regedit>HKCU>software>Wine

then I ^right click on "Wine" and "add key"

HKEY_CURRENT_USERS/Software/Wine/Direct3D/VideoMemorySize = 256 (mine is 256)

it seems as thought i am missing a step, i just really need a simple clear step by step instruction on this, because i want to make sure EVERYTHING gets put in it's right place
then i need to import fakeNET11.reg file into wine regedit, when i do it nothing seems to happen unless i am missing something i need a clear step by step for this as well

i apologize but i really am new, and want to do this right with nothing left out. Please help, and BTW you guys have been very patient and i appreciate the help and i again apologize for net getting it immediately.
