So I switched it to OpenGL and the "3D" images or effects look all altered... Is it because I need to update OpenGL? If you know how to do it, please tell me!

Get a pc, load windows 7, and all your problems will be solved. Then you can play the Sims or whatever. But Wine tends to be unstable and if your not willing troubleshoot on your own...save yourself hours of grief. Dump your mactard.
And I find people like YOU incredibly annoying. People who outright hate
the Macintosh platform. I'll have you know I'm a Mac user, and your
comments don't sit very well with me. I like my Macs. And I will never
ever run that piece of crap Windows on any of my computers ever again.

The fact that "no one uses Macs" (which is totally untrue, but is widely
perceived as true by the public at large) is precisely why these things
don't work. The only way to get Wine working better on Mac is for people
to use it on the Mac so we can find out what's wrong! I submit test
results for Wine back to the project. I look at the test results page
(at http://test.winehq.org ), and I am terribly disappointed to find
that 8 or 9 times out of 10 I am the only one who submitted results for
Mac. We need *more* Mac users, not less! And, we need more Mac
developers, too. But that won't happen until more people start using
Wine on Mac!

And one more thing: there's no need to drop F-bombs. Your attitude is
not helping. I agree that people should try to help themselves first,
but we shouldn't be screaming "Get lost, you effin' luser!" into their
ears. That's just rude.
