What else do I need?

I I've installed WINE OK and installed a program by it but I've got one program that failed to install, 'Surething CD/DVD labeller'
.

Any ideas why it failed?
What else, if anything do I need to install alongside WINE od do to WINE to get it working fully.
Has WINE enabled Internet access?
Full use of graphics cards?
Full use of soundcards?
Full use of TV cards?

Another thing, I had to search EVERYWHERE for my 'normal' Drive 'E' & 'F', as they were buried deep inside Ubuntu's structure of filing.

That version is old; upgrade to the latest development release.

Screenshots of error messages are rarely useful, but if you insist on posting them, at least make them big enough to read.

BTW this should probably be linked to in "Sticky: Welcome to the

If talking about program that designs and prints sticky CD labels, then you should probably look for native alternatives.

Yes. As long as your system can access it.

Depends what you mean here. Yes, Wine can use video cards, but only via OpenGL. If you have an Intel or ATI card they will have issues with some (ati) / most (intel) games.

pooky2483 wrote:Full use of soundcards?

Regular sound works. Anything extra (more then 2 channels, 3D, effects) doesn't.

No. For this you will have to use native Linux programs.

It already is and has been since the forum started.

Oops my bad. Must have misread something.
Sorry for the noise.
