Hello,
Im new to ubuntu 11.04 and wine and playonlinux..... im trying to play fallout 3 on my system... the disk installs perfectly ever time but when i try to run fallout 3 it gives me a no cd/dvd DRIVE message... i have tried going into wine config and adding a drive and setting it as cd-rom and mapping straight to the mounted Fallout 3 folder in /media.... i even tried downgrading to wine 1.2.3 instead of 1.3.28 i believe? any help would be greatly appreciated

PlayOnLinux is not supported here; they have their own support forum. This forum is for plain Wine.

First, deinstall the POL package. We cannot support POL per an
agreement with the package maintainers (if you want POL support you are
going to have to ask them.)

Second, install Wine from the development ppa. The current version is
1.3.28.

Third, visit the friendly and informative Applications Database page for
Fallout3. There is a How-To on using Fallout3 with DLCs and other
hints/tricks for installing and running this program. The URL for the
web page is
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=14322

Fourth, if this does NOT work, please feel free to post a message on the
page or continue with a new forum topic.

Thank you.

Don't personally have this game, from the DB no one else has this issue. If
you own the Game Legit, you could try to find a no cd/dvd patch (I found one
in like 5 seconds, but not sure on the forum/wine policy of discussion of
such matters) and see if that patch allows you to play. I know for dragon
age 1 I had to do that.
