Setting Up Wine

I am running Ubuntu 7.04 with Wine 0.9.40.

The first thing I did was run sudo winecfg and made the following changes:

Go to the Applications tab.  Next to Windows Version: select Windows XP and then click Apply




Go the the Graphics tab and next to Vertex Shader Support: select hardware, and then check Allow Pixel Shader (if supported by hardare)




Finally go to the Audio tab and next to Hardware Acceleration: select Emulation
