I downloaded WINE and installed on my laptop. dpkg -i ... Problem is it has never worked. How do I configure it, or maybe I am running the wrong file. What file do I run?

What error messages are you getting? Bring up an xterm and type: $ wine /path/to/windoze/program.exe
Personally I would have done an "apt-get install wine" rather than using dpkg. Your config files are kept in ~/.wine. If you want a graphical setup tool try winesetuptk.
