After setting sound to "Emulation", I got it to boot up. It's rather slow, though, so perhaps I'll try compiling WINE. If that doesn't speed it up any more, I'll just have to wait for the native version.

What specs does the laptop have? And does it run slower in windowed mode or does it have the same speed as in fullscreen?

Hope compiling it solves the speed issue in fullsceen. As I use Gentoo i compile all my stuff. So i don't have any experience of the binary versions

I'm intrigued. I changed audio = "Emulation" and "emulation" but neither changed the unable to init audio error.

Btw, I used to have a sort of wine-explorer and a wine-settings in the past, but after I uninstalled it and manually installed 0.9.37 (the update said OK but the version didn't change), but the new version didn't include the wine-settings. Can they still be installed separately?

Edit: I changed audio to "alsa,esd,oss,nas" and got it working. The audio just sounds a bit borked with the choppy cutting all the time, but at least it works otherwise perfectly as far as I could figure out.

I managed to get it running pretty fast under Arch, which is leaps and bounds faster than Kubuntu. My laptop has a Pentium 4 HT 3 Ghz CPU. I suppose I could get faster performance if it weren't hyperthreading, but meh. It's good enough for now.

Glad to hear you managed to get it running faster than before.

Yeah that laptop should have enough power to run CC(Even with wine).

BTW: Am i the only one here that uses "winecfg" to configure my settings?

Have you tried running "winecfg" in the terminal? If that doesn't work you could always try with just writing wine then tab till the terminal displays all possible options.

I have looked around in the wine wiki and i haven't found anything about winecfg not being included by default.
