SOLUTION to problem.
1. Right click desktop and select "Create Launcher"
2. Select the type.

5. Navigate to the desired program and select the execution icon.
6. Click on "Open".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using Ubuntu 9.04on SONY VAIO

I downloaded the program and it works as advertised.

I have created a link to the program on the desktop by,

Right clicking on the program icon, opens menu and I select "Make Link".

The link icon appears and I move it to the desktop. When I click on it,nothing happens. Nothing opens, closes moves, nothing.

When I click on the original file icon, the program opens with no problems.
