    Wine trouble

    I have been trying to install GTA: San Andreas onto Ubuntu, it seems to have installed without any issue but now when I try to run the game I get an error message:

    'A required security module can not be activated. This programme cannot be executed.'

    I really don't have any idea where to go from here, any help would be appreciated.

    I'm on 12.04 and Wine is version 1.4.

    you may find some answers on this page.
    Think it says to delete a file that may be the answer.
    Don't have it installed here so can't test it.

    Re: Wine trouble

    I got passed the error by using a NoCD to start the game, now instead of an error I get a black screen. Just a black screen, absolutely nothing else, on my previous installation of Ubuntu I got the same black screen with 2 other games and never found a solution.

    I am using a Nvidia 7900GTX which is better than the one I was using on my old PC.

    Any idea as to why I get a black screen would be nice.
