The forum

Hello all.  I have tried many things but I just can't get ANY of the executibles to work.  I have the retail version of the game (when it first came out).  I have tried installing it on POL in Linux Mint 13 and Ubuntu and I get the same problems.  At the end of install before it asks me to change disks (which I only have one BTW)  I get Wine crash error about Invalid Parameters.  After I OK that messae, click to change to 2nd disk and it says finished.  I try to run the game and it crashes immediately.  I've also copied my DVD files to my hard drive and same thing happens.  I'm sorry, but I am new to this site so I don't know how to add a file or use pastebin.  Here is a cut and paste of my log.  My specs are as follows.

Linux Mint 13 -updated
NVidia 9600GT
AMD FX-6200 processor
ASUS Crosshair Formula V mobo
12 GB RAM
POL version 4.0.14 (also occurred with latest version)

Maybe someone has a step by step tutorial on how to install it properly.  If so, may I have it?
