I have Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop with Windows 7 installed on it.Also I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a separate drive.I want to install Adobe Master Collection CS6 on Ubuntu 12.10.I tried using wine but what wine does is,it just installs the software & doesn't allow me to use it.While I click on any Adobe product say Adobe Photoshop & hit enter to run it it pops out an error message.
How should I tackle this?Is there any other software apart from virtual Machine Ware or Wine to install & successfully run Adobe Master Collection CS6 in Ubuntu 12.10?

I'm afraid that Wine, and VM might be the way to run Adobe Master Collection CS6 in Ubuntu.
My recomendation would be to use VM, because it will run the application better that Wine. Wine is still a compatibility layer that may have some problems, and incompatibility.
One other thing you can try is Playonlinux, although it may have the same results as Wine. You may look at the Wine AppDB, where you can get information on application compatibility with Wine.
You may also look at Creative suite for Linux.
Wine is an excellent way to run Windows programs on Linux although it still cannot run everything 100%, although older versions of Photoshot and such have been known to work properly...
What you could try is VirtualBox which is available in the Software Centre and allows you to install Windows inside a window and runs a perfect Windows environment from which to install and launch your Windows applications...
Be warned that since this is an emulation of Windows it will run slower, as will any running applications, but it is a good alternative to booting to and from Linux/Win just to run specific software and the Guest Additions package for VirtualBox always manages to speed things up like graphics...
