Helloooo! I'm Lindsey Lohan!

No,kidding, but I do need help. I installed Ubuntu yesterday, and am looking forward to virus and trojan free life. And I love to play computer games! I installed Age of Mythology and The Settlers - Heritage of kings. Everything went ok with the installation. But when I try to run the games, nothing happens. The cursor turns into a revolving disk (instead of an hourglass - I still think in terms of Windows..) and there appears a minimized window on the bottom. But nothing happens. The window just disappears, and the disk turns to a normal cursor again. I used Wine when I installed the games.

I don't know much about computers at all, so feel free to treat me like an idiot when explaining. I would really like this to work, or else I'm gonna have to go back to Windows XP:(

Oh, and the wine applications database is out of order...

Right-click the shortcut and chose properties. then Open with. If it doesn't say wine there you must choose wine.Send me a PM if it doesn't work.
