What information is needed in my post?
There are few rules to respect. To start, you have to be polite and write fluently (SMS language is forbidden; those messages are immediately deleted). Then, try to provide as much information as you can
- Linux version: You OS distribution, architecture (32-bit or 64-bit Linux), and version.
- Version of POL: PlayOnLinux version (you can get it in the help menu: Help -> About PlayOnLinux).
- Full computer specs: CPU, RAM, graphics card type and installed drivers, etc..
- All error message you can find (preferably from the debug logs available in Tools -> PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac debugger)
For example, this kind of message won't be accepted:
Hi, I have a big problem with POL, when I try to run it, it doesn't work. Please help, it is urgent, I'm new in linux, I don't understand anything! Please help!
Topics like this, or without the required information will be locked.

Exactly the same, but instead of Console, choose PlayOnLinux script style. Once posted the code will be coloured like that :
