I take it you're probably talking about the NVidia drivers? For any .run file

sh nameoffile.run

broekskw,

You did notice the dates on the previous posts in this thread, right? They're from over a year ago. ;)

Where is your CD mounted? /media/cdrom? Try this from a terminal:
$ wine /media/cdrom/Setup.exe

make sure it's executable under permissions. That's the BIG one, otherwise it will try to do goofy things like open in a text editor, etc.. it won't tell you it's not executable or what to do. Typically any .run file you download will not be executable by default.. it's extra security so something or somebody else has to manually release any file before the system will run it!! it's a good thing, but often pros omit those "small" details.

thanks for both your replys,sorry did not see the date. here is what i get when i input your command in terminal mode, i also get the same screen error as before.
ok how do i check to see if it is executable under permissions.
