I installed Zorin V. 5. Were you reading what i said? I said that if i installed the proprietary driver that when I rebooted i'd loose my taskbar. Are you automated? And I purposely converted to "Linux" I hate windows. I just can't figure out how to use "Wine" I wish I understood it so I could use windows programs that's another story.
Could you please open terminal and post the outcome of:

lspci
Thank you.
Since the proprietary driver is not helping, keep it disabled. Have you updated fully your system? Usually, after an update, all the necessary drivers are installed and the GPU will work with 3d acceleration. Or, after an update you may find more proprietary drivers recomended in "additional drivers" and you can try enabling a different one to see if you get better results.
After the full update, and since the compiz effects are pre-installed with Zorin, you can tell if the 3d grafics are enabled i.e. by seeing if when you close a window it just disappears or it is broken in many pieces. If the second happens, then the 3D effects are enabled.
If not, we can make a research to see what is the latest recomended driver for your GPU.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriverWith wine, what is the problem you are facing? You right click on the program's .exe file, and you go to properties. From there, you go to the "permissions" tab and you tick the box that says "allow executing file as a program". You then right-click the .exe file again and chose "open with wine".
