Thanks I really appreciate the help. I was trying to run it under the 
classic gnome desk-top but I couldn't get it to work. Then I tried it 
with the unity interface and it worked great.

I forgot to mention that. I didn't like the unity interface so I found 
info on the web that allowed me to install the classic gnome interface.

I have no problems using the unity interface to play windows game.

Thanks again every one that replied, especially Nils who gave me the 
solution.
