i'm running ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx, wine v.1.2-Rc5 and POL v.3.7.6 and i'm trying to run sims 3 on my laptop. each time i solve one problem i encounter another so i'm giving and asking for help. i think i've done everything i can from googling and the forum.
The sims 3 is installed but i try and run it from POL (started in console) and after seeing a blue screen for a few seconds it disappears and the console produces:
"Running The Sims 3

"
and then blank.
i'm thinking it might be something i've looked in the installation process but i can't figure it out. any help is appreciated.
