Status: UNCONFIRMED

Hello!
I have steam installed and working well on my Ubuntu Jaunty setup, including a
few games.
I recently downloaded X3: Terran Conflict, but am having problems starting.
When I start the game for the first time, a dialog pops up:
TAGES Drivers
-------------
The drivers require installation (with an administrator's account)>
Do you want to proceed now?
I choose 'Yes' and see an error dialog:
TAGES Drivers
-------------
Unable to proceed (error 32) [or sometimes 1450 or 1723]
Then:
Egosoft
-------
Insufficient priveleges: you must be administrator when you run this
application for the first time.
Using the latest version from the Wine repo, and the environment created by
PlayOnLinux for Steam.
I have filed this bug IAW the FAQ. I have tried changing the Windows version
from XP to 98 and Vista, to no good effect.
Would love to know how this is happening and to get it fixed!
Cheers
Charlie
