	First, login as simple user, there is no need to run as root without good 
reasons. Then run this:

rm -rf ~/.wine

	If this gives you an error then run "sudo rm -rf ~/.wine". Now run:

wineprefixcreate

	Try winecfg:

winecfg

	Does it work now? If yes, try to run "setup.exe" for program you want to 
install; if setup fails (but winecfg works) and you need more help don't 
forget to mention what program you are trying to install and is there a demo 
version for it or not.
