What the heck did I do wrong now :) Should their be some sort of application icon to start wine? Or is it automatic once wine is installed?

You should try Crossover Office, which includes WineX.
Crossover Office supports much programs like M$ Office and other stuff, so using Crossover Office you dont need to tweak WINE to run a program.

Ahemm "tweak wine to run programs" oh boy I thought this one was gonna be easy to get up and going :)
I installed it from the synaptic package manager, wounder if their are some dependencies I should have installed along with it?
Crossover wont run 3D will it?

When I click on anything .exe I get an error "can not find suitable program to install this type file with"
If I run in terminal "wine filename.exe" I get cant find file even if I cd to the folder the file is in

Do this

Now Ubuntu will give you a window with different program
Click on the use a command button and write wine there
Then Press Open

Hay at least that did something :)
""Driver Error
An error occurred when opening the driver. CPUz will launch but all information wont be available.""
I click OK then nothing else happens or shows up.

3D Mark worked sorta, wine opened it and installed it to c:\program files :confused:
But for some reason it didnt leave a launcher on the desktop:clap: now I dont have a clue where the program is located..

Try this command
wine "C:\PROG~FBU\MadOnion.com\3DMA~WRH\3DMA~JJ0.EXE"
thats the path in my computer atleast
I guess it should be similar for you:)
wine stores files in a hidden directory:
/home/nfm/.wine/drive_c/Program Files
To make a shortcut on your desktop to would click "Create Launcher".
To do same thing you could use gedit, nano or pico as an edtor:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Azureus.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Azureus
Comment=P2P Client
Exec=/opt/azureus/azureus
Icon=/opt/azureus/Azureus.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
This is how I created shortcut for azureus, it's located in "Applications -> Internet -> Azureus" from start menu.
You would have to type:
sudo gedit /home/***user***/Desktop/Azureus.desktop
to create it on desktop.

Man THANKS for all the help guys :toast: You guys here are the most Linux noob friendly bunch I've come across :clap:
Some of the Linux support forums can be a very discouraging experience.
I will give your suggestions a try after work.
