runing a program

Post by ferdi »

I am an old user of Microsoft and a new user in Ubunto 8. with wine and
I install some windows programs and add my licenses, test them and each
one were running OK.
I off my computer and when I got back to it, I no longer have in
wine-->programs the list of my software.
Only notepad is shown.
I try to make double click on my *.exe files, but no program runs.
How can I fix this.
Thanks for your help

Provide WAY more detail.

What desktop environment and version? What windows program and version?
Have you already checked the AppDB for help with your software? Do they
work when you run them from the command line?

You should goto the wine configure area and press the autodetect in the Drivers tab. That way wine will lock onto your storage setup.

Next, see if your menu in Ubuntu hasn't pushed wine into a lost and found area. See if you can configure the menu in Ubuntu and move back any links to the Wine area.
