I just recently moved from Windows to Fedora 17 and I wanted to try and see if I can get some of my Windows games to run in Fedora. I installed Playonlinux today and I've installed the needed components except the 32 bit OpenGL libraries which playonlinux cannot find and where I am stuck on.

PlayOnLinux 3.7.5 is available 3 years 3 weeks ago

Hi everybody !

PlayOnLinux 3.7.5 is now available! What's new ? - Improvement on icon managing. Thank you Congelli501 for the patch

This simple tutorial will explain how to install Windows Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 on Ubuntu using PlayOnLinux. 1. Install PlayOnLinux. PlayOnLinux is a front-end for wine. It can be installed via Ubuntu Software Center.

Just A Quick Announcement for two Applications that are not installable through the software manager at this time.

They are both working in Opensuse 11.2. Vmware player 3 installed and played a 7 vm. Playonlinux is a little tougher to get going but it works great once you have its dependencies installed.

Here is a link to the playonlinux 3.7.2 howto for 11.2.

So I got an iPod touch from my brother that he doesn't use anymore, hasn't used it in who knows how long. It had a password on it that he can't remember, so I have to restore it. Unfortunately, I don't run Ubuntu with a windows partition, my boyfriend had installed this and completely erased it, so it's just completely Linux.

PlayOnLinux installs the applications in separate virtual drives. Each virtual drive represents a different windows machine. I have configured PlayOnLinux on my laptop and installed several programs in it.

These programs go in the hidden .PlayOnLinux directory in home.

My .PlayOnLinux directory is about 12 GB in size.

So I downloaded steam on PlayOnLinux and I installed some random games and they open but I can't do anything with them I can move the mouse around and the menu buttons change, but I can't actually click anything. The games I tried it on were Castle Crashers, Deus Ex: HR, and Super Meat Boy and they all did the same thing.

I have installed MS Office 2010 using PlayOnLinux. i want to associate the .docx files to Playonlinux. I've follow the workaround on this thread: how to set file associations with PlayOnLinux?

but I have still the problem, that Word will open clean but not the Document that I select. Any idea?

I know this question comes up frequently. I've been reading forums and working on it for three days now, with little to no success. Time to bring in the experts.

I've tried this: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-...f_Legends.html

...7 times, changing variables based on other forum suggestions. It ran once on Win XP, Wine v1.5.22 . but I couldn't launch it from the PlayonLinux GUI.
