Are you sure that your X windows is in a reasonable resolution? it
sounds more like you messed up the X windows setting.

i tried reinstalling but its still stuck with the new settings....

Reinstalling wine does not effect any wine settings because all of the
wine configuration settings are in each users ~/.folder

still nothing...its similar to what happen in the post "wine config" is the user file something i can find? and delete? i could do that and then just reinstall again. i don't get the jargon on the search for the wine config tried all phrases in the article and tried in terminal and search engine with in ubuntu and get same results "command not found" ...

Austin already told you; just delete your ~/.wine directory,
then run wine again. The problem will go away.

In your home directory.
/home/your_user_name/.wine
the '.' makes it hidden. You have to show hidden files, or in a terminal, run:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine

Careful, this will remove all your installed apps, but it'll reset the
settings you messed up as well

In Gnome: Places / Home Folder, then View / Show Hidden Files, then
you should see a folder named ".wine". Delete that, and Bob's your uncle.
(You'll lose any configured apps, and have to reinstall them in wine,
so don't do it if you care about those.)

(New user)

I tried this fix, but it didn't help me. I have a new Linux EEEPc. I can install no problem (old version worked). But I cannot see the "Apply" button to reconfigure. so it won't run at all.

I tried resolution changes but the eeepc has few options... everything else is okay, of course.

Advice?
Thanks!
