Hello Vitamin, thanks for your help.  Yes I did install ACT! through the terminal.  I am running version 1.2.2 of wine.   I followed the Ubuntu instructions for installing a program onto wine.  

Installing Windows Applications With Wine

To install Windows applications using Wine, follow these instructions:

   1. Download the Windows application from any source (e.g. download.com). Download the .EXE (executable).
   2. Place it in a convenient directory (e.g. the desktop, or home folder).
   3. Open the terminal, and cd into the directory where the .EXE is located.
   4. Type wine the-name-of-the-application.extension (e.g. wine realplayer.exe). 

I followed these instructions substituting the ACT! files into the commands.  The installer ran and completed successfully.  Then, I configured the wine program to Windows 98 and in the library I selected the drop-down option of msvcrt (Native, Builtin).  I then whent to applications, wine, ACT! and opened it.  It ran fine for a minute, but then froze.  

Now I can not even get wine to open ACT at all.
