I'm sure everyone is tired of my problems, and would rather spend
July 4th weekend doing something else. I don't blame you. So would I.
It's also my younger son's birthday and he'll be 34 years old.

So, I'll just offer an update to all and if anyone wants to; they can jump in and tell me I'm nuts, screwed, and annoying. I won't be offended.

I have narrowed things down, somewhat. I run the rm -rvf ~/.wine
from terminal, and then run winecfg. There is an error message that scrolls down the screen and then aborts..
before it does, I try to read all of the content. I can't finish reading because the machine logs me off Ubuntu and goes to my logon screen for username and password.

That points to broken graphics drivers.

When I come back, I am able to run winecfg, with no problem; BUT
the drives are not listed in the drive tab and the error complains of mount manager failure, in Terminal output.

The ubuntu builds have that problem, not sure why. You can compile
yourself to fix the mount manager problem.

I have done some research into this and found very little that is helpful or akin to my issue.
I'm sure of one thing, Wine has difficulties doing any cfg after it is removed.
Even if I go to Synaptic PKg mgr and completely remove it and any other wine related packages including wine-doors, and wine-gecko: and then go through the re-install of all of them.
Still the same problems.
I have done something or something has changed, during the course. I recall being able to see the drives listed on the drives tab...
BTW.. Wine-gecko shows up in several of the error messages that scroll before I am logged off. I have no time to catch all that is listed.

Which brings me to a question: Is there a switch I can add to the 'winecfg' command that outputs the error message to a text file or log, and saves it so I can view it when i re-logon?..
i.e. winecfg -logfile log.txt or something?

winecfg &> log.txt

Ok. Austin i have somewhere to start.
First: what do you recommend as a fix for the graphics drivers?

Update to the latest. If you're using the open source, try the
proprietary. Or vice versa.

Can I reinstall the drivers and recover? if so, your suggested steps 1-2-3..??

Likely. That depends on the video drivers...ask google.

Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error..
I'm afraid i've no experience running a compile..
I don't know the first step...

It's in the faq (http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ)

What could have messed up Ubuntu in the first place?

It's a bug in the Ubuntu Wine packages.

I don't remember, but I could have run sudo something that sholdn't have been...is that it?

Wouldn't cause this problem, but don't do that.

Depends on your distro, driver and method if installation. Consult your distro's forum and driver documentation for more info.

If still unsure, use package manager and re-install latest driver version.

Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error..

Wine doesn't properly initializes it's configuration (WINEPREFIX default is ~/.wine) because of the crash. There isn't much you can do without fixing 1).

Ok. I have been able to capture the output after winecfg is run, after I removed wine with the rm -rvf ~/.wine command. This output happens before Ubuntu logs me off:

As for manual 'compile' of Ubuntu.. it clearly states in the FAQ that you shouldn't try this if you are not a programmer or 'faint of heart'.. well I'm not a programmer.. So I think I'll pass.
I believe i have done enough to mess my system up.
According to Ubuntu, I'm not running any propietary drivers for my graphics card. I believe it's the VIA Chrome 9 HC IGP family and the drivers are S3 graphics drivers for windows. I don't know if they would work with Ubuntu/Linux.
I'll try to google and come up with the right ones and do the install.
Again, I'm running a dual-boot Grub and Ubuntu is on a spearate HDD from Windows XP. I suspect that hardware drivers for the Ubuntu OS are NOT windows drivers and are NOT proprietary.

I don't know what section in the Synaptic pkg mgr has the specific drivers listed for my hardware. Its difficult for me to determine. But i'd like to try and re-install the drivers.

Thanks for any more help or intelligence you have on this.

Windows drivers will not work in Linux.

The little I could find from googling Chrome 9 is that the proprietary Linux drivers are dreadful and that the open source ones (openchrome), while a little better, do not have 3D support.

You didn't mention whether this is a laptop or not, but if it's not, the best solution would be to buy an nVidia card. Unless you're a hardcore gamer, a low-end card costing $30 or less should work just fine.

It's really not possible to troubleshoot Wine until you get the graphics driver issue sorted out.

Your Linux video drivers are failing. You need to get better drivers or
a better video card.

I thought I should let everyone know that I have solved my problems with my graphics driver & card and I was able to successfully install Dreamweaver MX 2004.
I also installed an updated Wine (1.1.26) through pkg updater along with the Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic update.

I followed the instructions that were given previously, and all went well. The MDAC message did appear, but everything else seemed to go well.
I did see some strange "fixme:" messages; but I forgot to save them to a file for your review. I should have, I know; because even though Dreamweaver is installed now, and wine is configured to run dreamweaver.exe in the Wine application list; I can't get dreamweaver to launch using wine, or wine program loader, or the command 'wine start' from terminal, or trying to launch it from the folder in drive_c/program files/macromedia/dreamweaver.exe....
I think those messages should be in one of the logs, correct?
Is anyone still interested in helping me with this?

Again, thanks for all the help you have already given me.
I appreciate it.
