[Wine] Programs Won't Run in WINE

Hi!  I've been using Linux for exactly six days, now, and I've been using Linux Mint for two (I made the mistake of trying to start-out with Debian).  
Anyway, I'm trying to get WINE to work.  So far, I can get things to install, but nothing really runs.  For example: 
    *Oblivion: works until I click to make a new character, and then crashes before the intro video.  There is no music outside of the launcher and the loading videos which come before the main menu.  Rated 'Gold' at WINEhq.  
    *Medieval II Total War: It won't run.  Sometimes, it'll give me an error.  Rated 'Gold' at WINEhq.  
There are others, too, but the only ones that works so far without glitches are Steam and the ones that came automatically with WINE.  
Also: I have winetricks installed.  

Does anyone have any advice on what to do?  I'd try to give more information, but I don't know any WINE diagnostics.  

Thanks in advance.
