Windows doesn't magically come with every sound/video driver! Find out what make/model your motherboard is and go download the drivers for it. The minute amount of time spent downloading/installing a few drivers will seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the headache of trying to run Win32 games on Linux. Honestly, I have no qualms with Linux, but outside of a core of dedicated games it's just not 'there'.

If i only new where to get them...i went to the AMI website but i cant find what i need to download

You could try Wine on your Linux..

He is.......

 

Problem looks to me, like a lack of or lack of support for, .NET Framework.

 

Try installing .NET 2.0 (Anything newer apparently doesn't work right, or at all)

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?...on&iId=2586

 

OR (And I don't know if WINE will make use of it externally, you may need to use the Windows version IN WINE) install MONO - http://mono-project.com/Main_Page

Instead of using wine, you could try vmware. You will notice a performance hit but I have found vmware the most stable way to run windows programs in linux. It's what we use at work but I have not tried playing games.

This is not a viable solution, it doesn't virtualize your video hardware and you're stuck with a generic emulated video card with 0 3D capabilities or any hardware acceleration at all.
