Well the recursive chmod finda fixed it but I still had issues so I re-
installed wine using what you mentioned above and it seems to be
working better now.  Now I just need to figure out what i have to do
to get sound working properly.  Every time I shoot the frame rate
drops back down to near 10.  I don't know how you kill someone like
that, so I hope I can find some more resources on it.  If anyone else
has had a lot of problems with sound please let me know what you did
to get decent frame rates.  I have to use dxlevel 80 because it
performs the best by far, it's now a sound related issue.
