before I say anything, you should know that I am 'completely' new to kubuntu.
I have installed wine following the instructions from the winehq website, and first up, I installed gomplayer (my choice as the most sufficient media player in the world!
).
The installation process went very smoothly. When it was fully installed, I tried to play an avi video file, but it came up with an error message saying that it couldn't find the right codec! (by the way, the only reason why I use gomplayer is because USUALLY, it contains all the codecs required and I never have to go looking for them) >
I found it quite very strange because on gomplayer running in windows, the same avi file ran with no problems.
Later, I tried to install a game off a cd. The cd didn't go through autorun, so I ran the setup.exe myself, but nothing happened, and for a sec, I thought that I didn't click properly and tried again, but nothing happened at all. The cd span and looked like it was gonna run then it just stopped.
Is there something wrong with wine or am I just not using it properly?
