problem with opening programs which used to work...

Post by maya.tzunz »

Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to help since I didn't find useful answers at the FAQ section...

I had a few games which were working just fine using Wine, until they stoped doing so... whenever I try to open any of them it says
"The program X has encountered a serious problem and needs to close... This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine..."

So little details...

Does anybody have an idea?
Many thanks in advance...

A good place to start would be to pick one of the programs and run it
from a terminal, that should give you more of an error message than the
pop up box does and may have enough info to start tracking the problem down.
