The WINE program can load and run Windows executables on an x86 machine, but they won't always work. It's often difficult for large programs, they expect lots of things to be in the registry; and games that demand Direct3D just plain won't work since WINE doesn't have it.

Cedega supports Direct3D, but is a costly commercial program.

Frankly, if you want to run Windows programs, it's easiest to use Windows; Linux is not FreeWindows_XP, and will constantly disappoint you if that's what you want it for. If you're determined to use Linux you should look for Linux alternatives instead of carrying all your old software with you.

Maybe VMWare will do it?
