Are you sure you're using Wine, in Linux or OSX? As far a I know Linux and OSX have NO blue screen.

What App Window? What does "fully compatible" mean? Which Wine version?

Please be more polite or at least give more information in your next post.

Cheers,

That version is old; upgrade to the latest development release, which is currently 1.3.32.

If you want help, you're going to have to provide more information: graphics card and driver, exactly what games are you talking about, and have you used winetricks or made any other changes to winecfg? We're not psychic.

What version?

Also, I'll ask these questions:

What programs/games?

You stated "All but two of them".

I don't have your video card information. I would check the AMD/ATI
drivers site to insure that this is the latest/greatest LINUX driver
for your video card. The latest version is in the eleven (11) series.
I know that this does NOT support either of my video cards (I have a
Mac with an X1600 series and an IBM laptop build in 1998 that has a 3D
card in it, but none of the available AMD drivers support it.)
