It just got hung up at a different point in the process. I did try to register for the WINE forums to ask over there as it seems it might be a WINE issue, but I couldn't get past the question thing to prove I'm not a robot, because I'm new to Linux, and don't know the answers to those questions (like the first name of one of the softare managers?) and couldn't find the answer with a google search. Nothing seems to fix whatever the problem is. I've tried uninstalling PlayOnLinux, purging all WINE versions, then reinstalling, via several methods: The Software manager, PlayOnLinux, and the terminal. I'd really prefer to not have to do a complete wipe and fresh Mint install. But now when I try to go back in to configure WINE, the WINE configure box will pop up with the dots going in a circle symbol for about 5 seconds, then will close out on it's own without allowing me to see or do anything. I did go through the PlayOnLinux configure screens to configure WINE, and installed several versions. Trying to launch WINE independently does nothing. I think it might be a wine problem because I can see a WINE icon in the bottom tray, and when I hover the mouse over it, a small preview box appears above the icon and it says "choose default language." But clicking on the box does nothing. ![]() But I can't launch either one, because they don't appear in the main PlayOnLinux screen. But then when I try to reinstall, it says that I have to overwrite the virtual drive, and in the PlayOnLinux configuration menu, virtual drives for both Civ4 and IE7 (the last one I tried) appear. I've let it run for 4 hours each time thinking it might just need time, but it never completes the install and I have to cancel it out. But when I try to install windows-based software - and I've tried it with both Civ IV complete (DVD-ROM) and Internet Explorer 7 and 8 - the installer just hangs. Using the Software manager, I installed PlayOnLinux 4.2.12-1. I've also gone into the update manager and I'm fully updated, that's one of the first things I tried to fix this issue. Graphics Card Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 Processor: Intel Core i3-8130U CPU 2.20GHz x2 Operating System: Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon And I chose Linux Mint because it was the closest to Windows 7, which I loved. ![]() ![]() I'm not dual booted Linux Mint is the only OS on the laptop, I got rid of Windows 10 completely because I hated it immediately. I'm new to Linux - the Windows 10 crap gave me the final push I needed to switch - and I just installed Linux Mint on a brand new Dell laptop. I did do some research in the forums but didn't find any post specific to this problem.
