It opens up wine (if I choose to emulate a desktop env) for about 8 seconds then it closes. There is no error output like the older versions of wine used to have. If I choose not to emulate a desktop, it simply spins the cd for 8 secs and nothing happens. I know that wine essentially crashes because nothing is found in processes (ps -A)
