Here's some stats about the computer I'm running Play on Linux with:
OS: stretch 64bit
CPU: Intel® Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz × 2
RAM: 2.0 GiB
Graphics: Intel® 945G (built-in video on the motherboard)
I think I have located the driver for this video card but I'm not sure how
to install it. I tried to install it as a regular program, but the setup
program says that my computer does not meet the requirements to install it.
How do you install drivers into Play on Linux?

I just added i386 to dpkg and installed wine32. This seemed to resolve a
lot of problems.
I successfully got the installer for a windows app to run. However it did
not install correctly...
I'm trying to install Spotify client.
I installed "mono-complete" and "mono-complete:i386" but the installer
still could not find mono.
So I had the play on Linux installer install mono.
*It complained that I do not have "wine-gecko" installed. *I cannot seem to
resolve this.
Spotify says that it could not find WINHTTP.dll and won't run.
However, I did successfully manually install and run this software with
default wine... although it doesn't require a lot of stuff to run. (It will
run in DOS apparently) It's an audio spectrum analyzer.

Also, on the play on Linux main window, the capture plugin gives me this
error:
01/25/19 09:03:52 - [main] Fatal: Please install alsa-base
However, alsa-base is not available in stretch.
The attached log file is for Spotify. It doesn't say it in the file, but I
am getting an error message that it cannot find WINHTTP.dll.
