what do I use to play WIndoze games like WCIII and shit

Wine, Winex

where can I d/load it? Link please

http://www.winehq.com/

well when I try to test it like it says on the site I type notepad and this is what I get

bash-2.05b# notepad
Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /root/Desktop; starting in windows directory.
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file (/root/.wine/config)

here's the section of my config file with the windows thing

[wine]
"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
"System" = "c:\\windows\\system"
"Temp" = "e:\\"
"Path" = "c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\;e:\\test;f:\\"
"Profile" = "c:\\windows\\Profiles\\Administrator"
"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"
;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1"
;"ShowDotFiles" = "1"
"ShellLinker" = "wineshelllink"

well....wine does not run with 'root' user. You need to login as a normal user to run apps using wine. Additionally, there is also a command called 'winecfg' for configuration. And if you have installed wine from an .rpm file, it will automatically configure most of the settings. You will only need to create a fake windows directory.

for more details, do a

man wine

oh okay thanks I need to create another user than. and I installed it wiht teh .tgz file

www.frankscorner.org has a lot of info on how to get wine games working

check out both the warcraft 3 and frozen throne howto's under games-strategy on that site; those will tell you how to get things working properly

thanks does anyone know if Studio MX will work?

some of the older versions run studio mx, but the newer ones are giving me problems with studio mx and adobe photoshop

i recommend that you grab the 20031118 version and use that if you want to use studio mx (i think studio mx and photoshop ran on that; check frankscorner for the version that worked); but do not install in linux, install in windows and copy over to linux (unless you want to spend 24 hours for the program to install in wine...)

I'm already installing wine and I donno I can't see my windows partition in Linux and visa versa

well this is what I get I made a user named "xxxx"

bash-2.05b$ notepad
\Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /home/xxxx; starting in windows directory.

w00t I got it working!!!

Okay so I try to install WCIII and it says something about Windows 95 not working with it

can you install direct x in Wine becuase I try to and it says that it can't find a require directory
