If you have not done so yet, look up the application in the appdb and 
see if there are any known issues, work arounds, or special set up 
instructions there that may help to fix or identify the problem. If you 
can't get it working after that or it is not in the appdb try running it 
from command line instead of the file browser, sometimes that will give 
you more helpful error messages.

If you need to repost here for help be sure to include the name of the 
application, what version of wine you are using, what video card and 
driver version you have, everything you have already tried to make it 
work, and any error messages you got from the command line. More 
information makes it easier for people see where the problem might be 
and how to fix it.
