I am attempting to do something similar to this.  I want to convert all my 
computers over to linux but do not want to give up my games.  I have 
downloaded and installed wine and so far it seems the only application that 
I can get to work is notepad.  explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, regedit.exe, 
cmd.exe and a host of other "native" windows applications will not even run.

I know it is not a windows configuration issue as I did a fresh install of 
winxp and copied the entire directory structure to ~/.wine/drive_c and 
modified the ~/.wine/config file to point to all of the correct directories 
and settings.

Whenever I run any application it gives me a bunch of "err:module:import_dll 
No implementation for..." errors and then terminates wine.  Anyone have any 
luck with getting wine to work?  Is it just a matter of getting all the 
correct information in the config file?  Can someone provide me with a 
working config file for winxp?  Am I crazy?

I've tried searching through the http://winehq.com site for anything but 
apparently I am not technically inclined enough to decipher quite a bit of 
the available information.  I am not new to linux but have spent the last 8 
years supporting windows machines in a corporate environment and have only 
dabbled in the glory that is linux! ha

Enough mumbling.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Sapp
