I've installed Wine on Linux Mint 16 to run setup.exe files from Windows, but when i run the .exe file, a very small-sized window appears, the setup seems to work but i can't read anything.

The same happens when i run wine configurations, then i think the problem is on Wine application.

This is what i get in my desktop: http://prntscr.com/2wzixc

The window looks minimized, but it's not possible to maximize or resize it!

Does anyone know how to fix this?

How exactly did you install wine ?
there are many many different ways and they will need different things done to configure wine

the easiest is to use your package manager and install the version that is in the mint16 repos

also there is a very nice QT gui if you need "qt4wine"
also not ALL microsoft "setup.exe" ( i ROYALLY HATE !!!! EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS CALLED SETUP.EXE !!!!!! )

not all will even come close to being able to be used

WHAT is this unknown program

from the screenshot i would guess you did not install wine correctly

open a terminal and post the error from
and post the output

also in your desktop menu there should be a "wine" entry
and one of then will be " Browse C:\ drive "
and there should be another called "configure wine"

it's not necessary, it's already solved! initially, i installed wine from source code but when the terminal asked me about some missing necessary packages, it also asked about freetype development fonts but i could configure wine without it, now that i installed freetype development, wine finally worked properly!

I used this tutorial to install wine: http://wikihow.com/Install-Wine-on-Ubuntu

I think the problem was about the fonts that were missing there, i knew it could be something related to this, that's why i couldn't see one word in the window.

seeing as you did not use the already "built for mint 16 " version in the mint repos
you will have to manually create menu launchers
manually configure it for mint16

and have to manually update it
by rebuilding the source code for EVERY update of the source code

Also did you install "wine-tricks"
it is a script to help install needed third party things

also do you have experience using MS's " Regedit.exe "you will likely have to hack the "wine" version of the MS "system registry" at some point

I didn't know about that but there's a way to do all again?

Btw, this is not doing what i want, that setup.exe is the software of a wireless adapter called DLink DWL-G122 B1 and i needed to install it to receive a better signal, but i need to run the setup in compability mode with windows xp so the machine thinks it's running windows xp operating system, in other way i can't proceed with the installation.

you CAN NOT !!! use a Microsoft windows HARDWARE driver on linux
( some exceptions)
but you CAN NOT !!!! use wine for that

install the LINUX version of the driver
if it is not already supported
most are already supported and there is not need for a driver

any linux drivers are not supported for my kernel version (3.11), so i had to use a windows driver using ndiswrapper, i think it's the same, but if only i could install that software in Linux, i think it could be better! The problem is that dlink software couldn't recognize my wireless adapter but it's already connected to the internet lol!
