alright, so i was running a warcraft 2 game; by running it from a file manager, right click, open with wine. the program starts great, when i click on battle net the screen changes to black and white, i cannot do anything without it closing. i then tried to start it from a terminal to get a log of whats going wrong; except when it wont start from a terminal; this is what happens;;

mint@mint ~ $ wine /media/disk/"Program Files"/War2Combat/War2noCDloader.exe

A) Is that a windows partition? Don't do that!
B) 'cd' to the directory first.

You have to install the application under wine, don't use the version
installed in windows.
