I had a similar problem with most games under Wine. The solution in my case was to not run the games from the Wine menu but to "Browse the C drive" and run the executable directly. You may need to right click the program and select open with other program and select Wine.

I have a minimal vista system dual booted, just to play poker on.

I found wine to be pretty poor with resolutions etc using poker software. The dual boot seems like a good solution (doing it for 3 years on Full Tilt and Poker Stars) and you don't have to worry about Wine messing up at the wrong time.

Good luck at the table, and keep up the pressure for native Linux poker.

thanks a bunch! how much space would dual booting take up...and how would i go about...well i can youtube that...ive tried starting it from the fulltilt file itself...but that was in downloads...so im going to go fool with it in c drive, thank you! i hope that does work! ill be kinda mad if it does since ive had such a headache with it, but i suppose ill get over it, i tried the pokerth last night, it definitely wasnt bad...just not my fulltilt...thanks again so much ill let ya know what happens.

i see, im still used to windows...yeah thats my excuse...im looking at a bunch of forums on how to fix that ...its all kinda gibberish though to me...no one explains how i change it...just a command on how to...i dont even really know...ill figure it out eventually though, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i still might just double boot though, i didnt know wine could just crap out on ya do you have any of the sound or picture issues ive read about when loading in wine?

typed that in the terminal...it took me to yadah yadda /wine/c drive, and fulltilt wasnt in there...so...i put it in there...and then i extracted it, nothings happening still.
