Serious problems with Wine o__O

[A-kun]

Well, my OS is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, so you can keep track.

I used Wine to be able to use Photoshop CS2, but there was a little setback. I reinstalled Wine and Photoshop several times and now even though I install it, it just wont work, nor open any .exe files. Also I don't know why I removed the Wine menu (Applications>Wine) from the tab and no matter what I do, it's not comming back.

To sum up:
-Is there any way to fix Wine back to life? to make it run exe aplications and stuff again?
-How can I make the menu come back to the Apps tab?

Help very apreciated

try to launch it with a console output and give us your output...
I have lot of problems of "preloader memory range" with hardy Heron and latest wine... maybe the same for you

The fact is that I'm not totaly familiarized with console commands, if you could give me any clue about what to write maybe I could get it done o__o

Try:

rm -rf ~/.wine
wineprefixcreate

Does this help? If not what is the output when you run:

wine notepad

-How can I make the menu come back to the Apps tab?

Sorry, I mostly use command-line so I don't know. Perhaps someone else will
be able to help you with this.

No problem
go to the directory of your ".exe" and push F4 (it's in home/yourname/.wine/drive_c/program files/...etc)
then write simply "wine nameofyourexe.exe"

Good luck and try to manage by yourself to make progress

[chourmovs]

rm -rf ~/.wine
wineprefixcreate

mmm try to reinstall wine via synaptic before removing your wine folder (with rm -rf)

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Thank you so much guys, now it works perfectly.

The only thing I'll miss is the menu but I'll see how to make it come back.
