-   I have a problem. I can't exec .exe files!!! They are all linux files because I got them from a linux software provider
I can exec other files like .gzip and RPM files

Thanks,

-   Check the permissions on the files, you may have to make them executable before
running them:

# ls -la filename.exe
# chmod 755 filename.exe
# ./filename.exe

-   Yes I have the permissions to execute it.
Attached is the permissions screen.
This is actully a dedicated server by Valve Inc. but I still can't execute any
thing else.
Is there a setting in the Control Center that I have to turn on
By the way I am using KDE.

Thanks for any help,

Rkniestedt

-   Also I noticed that there is no .exe after the file
It is just hlds_run not hlds_run.exe
Also attached is the console 'session' when I tried to use the commands the
last person suggested

Thanks for your help

-   In your screenshot you are typing '/.hlds_run' when you should be typing:

./hlds_run
