The above VxDs are used by debuggers. By trying to DEVICE_Open them the 
program tries to check if any debugger is running.
Since wine returns false for these DEVICE_Opens so the program goes further.

But since this debugger check is common to copy protected programs so your 
program will very probably NOT work.

Of course you can try with a crack if you want.
