[Wine] New Linux/Wine User Needs Help!

[tf4545]

Hello,

I am running Wine with Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Laptop.  I installed Wine using the Ubuntu Software Center and am using 1.1.42.  I have 'installed' Adobe Reader, Firefox, IE 8 and Business Plan Pro from Palo Alto Software.  

Firefox will start and run, IE 8 will not fully execute, Adobe Reader gives an error for Wine C++ Runtime error and Biz Plan Pro gives an Active X error 429.

Prior to upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 I had the same software configuration listed above and had no problems with any of the Windows applications running in Wine...

I know this is a long list but I'm stuck and could use some help.

Much Appreciated!
