When I try to use wine or do anything with it a message comes up, the program (unidentified) has encountered a serious problem and needs to close.

[Neil Cummins]

Iam using Ubuntu 16.04
The exe file Iam trying to install in wine is a Canon Printer CD.
Also an ArcSoft exe file from CD.

I downloaded a Canon Printer deb file to Downloads from Canon Asia but terminal can't find Downloads.

Could someone please help me before I return to Windows, which I do not want to do.
Or I might walk under a slow moving bus.

Thank you in anticipation, Neil
