Hi, Paul.

Please provide some more info. Particulary, glxinfo output (by the way, what
video card do you use?).
Execute the following command in terminal window:
glxinfo > ~/info.txt
then post the resulting info.txt file from your home folder here (as
attachment).

You can see some instructions in the second comment above:

Unfortunately, to emulate DirectX Wine uses much more complex instructions that
result in more strict requirements to video cards. It doesn't necessarily mean
that everything will be slower with Wine on the same video card, but it often
means that on older card nothing will work at all. If the problem is here, the
only answer will probably be "get-a-newer-video-card" one.
