Let me start with i know next to nothing about linux systems.

computer, 2008? macbook with new 1TB hard drive and soon new logic board with 16GB ram.

I have installed wine, and I've installed or i think i have directx9c. click onlive to launch and get , Failed to create Direct3D. Please ensure that you are running Directx9.0c or later. (status code: a44a)

I know basically nothing about bash and the terminal. I have used it to install with, but only with a tutorial to follow.
