How am i supposed to properly configure WIne so it opens most of my Windows applications. My goal is to get star craft and diablo II to work, but i cant even get Winamp working.

And hes im installing to the wine DIR.

check out these sites

http://winehq.org/site/howto

http://frankscorner.org/modules.php?...icles&secid=14

i used these two sites to set up my wine and it works fine although starcraft is choppy. but i attribute that to my weak hardware.

yes you need to have the cd inserted in the cdrom. don't forget to mount the cd if you don't have automount.

use Frankscorner. i think that it is a better howto. it even gives you a tarball of the fake C: drive. then it walks you thru the config and even give you a tarball of the config file.
hope that this helps

i can give no more help. sorry. these tools were all i needed. maybe there is a step that you missed. i would suggest going thru the howto and writing everything step-by-step and then following it to a "t".
