Hi brian !:-)

actually , you are now on a linux platform , not windows !.

so here is a solution.

There is an app called Wine http://www.winehq.org/

This program is supposed to run your windows Applications on linux !

you can easily download it / install it in a single command in your terminal !

to do that follow those steps:
open your terminal by clicking applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

then when your terminal opens, type in :

sudo apt-get install wine

it should ask for your password, type it in . Notice that it won't show the '*' while you type, but just type in normally ! this is how it works to avoid people from looking over your shoulder !:-)

after the apt gets your program and installs it, you can close the terminal either by typing exit, or clicking the X button !

now it's time to run your Wine !

click on applications -> accessories -> winefile

This will show you something like the old "winfile" !

simply browse to your setup .exe for your program !:-), and do everything like you did it on windows !

Just for your info: If wine is providing a small screen...

The window belongs to winecfg, .for configuring apps after they been installed by wine. It is not used to run applications Make sure that you have added apps to winecfg...

Click on add and then browse to installed apps and add them to winecfg so you change the default settings.

Then the program is run from a shortcut or term window with the commmand:

wine "C:\Program Files\winamp\winamp.exe" as an example.

Note

1. winecfg can be run by typing winecfg in a terminal

2. To modify the desktop size do winecfg, modify Desktop Size in Graphics and press enter (ie OK).

Hope it clears your doubts
