So after googling around and finding out wine doesn't work with the AMD drivers, I uninstalled it and the libopen dependencies for both AMD64 and i386 as they were conflicting with the installation of fglrx-core.

Now, however, when I try and install this, I get this error information:

(Reading database ... 208182 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb ...

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb

the tmp/fglrx-core_14.501-0buntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb is the package of fglrx-core I'm trying to install, but I have also tried it from my home directory and renaming it but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone got a quick fix? I'm new to Ubuntu and not great at it.

Try installing the fglrx, fglrx-core gives you "Minimal video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators", while the fglrx would give you a more "complete" installation.

like:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fglrx

or (includes the catalyst center)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev
