Hey everyone,
I just bought a couple of windows games on CD, and I installed wine and
such, but I can't actually execute them.
On double clicking them, I get the message:

Hi guys
About a week ago I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP Presario laptop. I did
this because the laptop wouldn't boot up due to a corrupt dll file. I have
since upgraded to Lucid Linux, however I want to install Windows 7 as well
to dual boot. The instalation will be on my laptops separate drive.

It didn't finish in that it crashed out?
