You will need to describe what you are doing to cause this error message.

Do you actually have a file named "name of program.exe"??

Why in "C:\\system32"??? This is the windows system folder...

You should also let us know which command you're executing that gives the error.

Hope this helps

fun times

The command I used was wine prog then I press enter and this error message came up

wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\name of program.exe

so what I done was I reinstalled the prog witch I was told couldent be ran in wine and I just was trying to see for myself I choose custom install and I installed it in that folder the program worked but it dident run like it should the program was written in m$ C++ and I kept getting this run time error when it first started then after I rebooted the prog it ran ok but not like it should it was a chat prog notheing big I just was testing for myself but I still installed it in the window$ $y$tem32 folder and it killed the error
thank you for the respond.... you guys are great.....
later
