I explained that I'd already tried several things in the wine config, so I don't know what to do with this advice. Can you be more specfic on how I would set them up?

What's the alternative, wipe 300 GB of apps and reinstall everything?

I find that a lot things actually work ok. Poser 7, for example, has worked for me across about 5 different windows installs, and now ubuntu too. It seems to have everything it needs self contained in it's own directory. 

For things that don't, then I reinstall them as needed.
