OP
i've loaded winex on my pc running mandrake 9.1, know how to install games, but how do i run windows programs that are already installed on my windows partition in linux?
Run wine with the app as parameter
e.g.
wine "c:\\Programme\\Context\\Context.exe"
or
wine /mnt/windows/Programme/Context/Context.exe
( I hope I have not made a mistake - running Windows and can't try - however this is the way it works for me with a well configured wine )

thanks, wine finally works. i got another question for anyone who wants to help, i ran some windows applications in wine, but with another app i tried to run it told me that it couldnt find a certain dll, this dll is sitting in c:/winnt/system32, so my question is how do i configure wine so that this application sees this dll?
