Iam trying to run this game through wine, but it tells me I need to get "Mozilla HTML" so when the installer pops up on wine desktop and I click install every thing disappears and normal desktop comes up

WINE's not really good for gaming. I haven't used it myself, but supposedly Cedega works great for running Win games under Linux. I haven't had much luck with WINE at all. Constant errors and nonsensical problems (like telling me I'm out of disk space when I had 72GB free).

have you checked your program in the wine HQ database? they have good guides, if that fails try using winetools or if your prepared to pay abit cedega will run most games (its wine with support for games and support people)

I have tried cedega and it didn't work out to well. I've installed another game from the same site that I am trying to use now and the other game works flawless. Do you have a link for Wine HQ? Thanks for your reply.

'Mah jong Medley' from Game house. I have downloaded there game 'Super Collapse' and it works greatI had become a member of Game House quite a while ago when I used Windows. Thanks for any help you can give. I do not understand that 'Mozilla HTML thingy.
