I'm wondering if anyone can help me?
I'm trying to run Secret of Monkey Island special edition in Steam on wine with Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat. I can install steam and use it to install the game (after it installs directx), apparently with no problems, but when I try to run the game, a window opens saying "Preparing to launch The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition". This closes and then a blank window opens, which is initally white. There is an audible "clunk" from the speakers, the white rectangle shrinks slightly into the top right corner, leaving a black border on the left and bottom. At the bottom right, a Steam logo apears saying "Access the Steam Community while playing". And then nothing else happens. No visuals appear at all and no more sound beyond the original clunk. Sometimes, it then crashes completely with an error saying "The program MISE.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It doesn't always do this, sometimes it just sits there blankly until I close it down.

I tried using the terminal to run wine MISE.exe, but with the same effect as already described, and no error messages in the terminal, so nothing to help me there.
I'd be grateful if anyone can help. I'm stuck! :?
