[SOLVED] spider xp or vista on Hardy??

It's me again, as you noticed I ha ve a lot of Questions and problems or just situations.

Now, I've read all the way through page 17 with no luck so I decided to start a new thread.

Here's the problem, my wife is a very addicted to spider and I can't get a clone of it. I already installed some apps that looks very alike, but she complains is not the same.

I've tried running the .exe using wine but cannot get it to work


any suggestions??

If you are having problems with running it in Wine, you may want to look into other emulators. The Wine database indicates that it should run fairly well, but there are mixed reviews on running Windows apps on Linux.

*EDIT*

I found a list you might want to look through: RPM of Group Emulators
