Troubles with .wine ( World of Warcraft)

[TOAB]

Complete linux beginner here... and I mean absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

I've tried to follow the step-by-step directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft, but I'm pretty sure I messed something up somewhere along the lines.

Install method was done by copying the tome files to a folder on the drive, and running the executable. After install the file Launcher.exe appears to be functioning normally, but when wow.exe opens (pressing play, or running "wine "C:\games\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe"(only place I deviated from the directions was in the installpath I believe) " The program appears to launch, I'm greeted with a black screen, a drop in resolution, as if it were a first launch, audio, and then it crashes.

The WoW error reporting util to submit info about crashes to Blizzard says I'm missing a few DLL's in my system32 directory. Terminal also tells me toab@toab-laptop:~$ wine "C:\games\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe"

The audio for the intro video continues to play until I close the session of Terminal that I launch from.

Using the restricted nvidia drivers, I believe I've correctly configured the audio, and video in winecfg.

Moved from ABT to wine, where you should get a little more visibility from the folks that can help.

Can you show us your config.wtf? When you post it, make sure your account name and server info are NOT posted. Security is important.

Also, what type of nVidia card do you have? What version of Wine are you running?

I actually didn't have a config.wtf as the program had yet to successfully launch. I actually got a friends config.wtf and I got the program to launch :)

Since the program was crashing and leaving my screen res at the default WoW resolution, it seems to have messed with my display drivers, and I can't seem to get it back to 60hz from the 50hz it's stuck at now. (this is in ubuntu, not WoW)

Video card is a 512mb Nvidia 7900GTX Go. Native screen res is 1920x1200.

edit:Thanks for your help

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

and then just

sudo nvidia-settings

you'll be able to change all of that, screen res, refresh rate, whatever you feel like changing.

Are you sure this isn't the setting it was at, previously? The nVidia drivers don't report the true refresh rate to X, for some reason, so the 50Hz mode reported by Ubuntu is very likely at 60Hz really.
