Howdy, I'm no expert, but I'm learning loads quickly. Wine is a work in progress; chances are a lot of the problems you're seeing are fixed in newer versions. What version of wine are you using? If it's made for RH7.0, it's probably pretty old. Try upgrading to a newer version, but be forewarned, you'll have to upgrade a bunch of other stuff along the way. If you aren't comfortable with rpm downloads and chasing dependencies, I recommend upgrading to RH7.2, and then working from there. Good luck.
