Windows isn't suported here and if you intend to reinstall the OS it is a waste of time posting and me replying isn't it.

If you care to give the NAME of the app you desire we may find it runs in Wine, but you haven't told us it yet

windoze programs normally won't run on ubuntu. like actionparsnip said, tell us what you're trying to run and we may be able to help. a lot of programs will run via wine.

Wasn't being a douche in any way, just highlighting where you were falling short.. Please mark as solved.

@Jesse: When someone request more data, the minimal politeness is to provide it. If you continue like this, you will get no help. Here people answer lot of questions, and have no time to waste.

Can you help with this problem?
