I was pretty impressed with Cedega, I am using the time demoversion 5.1 and I installed Vice City and I was playing it for a few minutes just to test it out and then I closed Cedega and restarted Ubuntu and tried Cedega and I cant get Vice City or install another game, when I hit play or install nothing happens. I suspect its something to do with the CD permissions.
How do I solve this problem?

Duh.. I wasnt run the bin file from the terminal. No wonder I couldnt find out the problem, I finally found located the cedega file and I ran it from the terminal and when I click on the icon for Play Vice City or click the Play button this is what I get in the terminal.
Traceback (most recent call last):

os.unlink ( path + "config" )

I hope that helps

I found the problem, after I reinstalled Ubuntu and reinstalled Cedega, I found that sometimes I have to switch CD-ROMS and sometimes I have to reboot Ubuntu and the time demo will work fine and since I have done these things, I have installed both Vice City and GTA III and I'm happy to report they are working fine.
