The usual things: Upgrade to the latest wine release, if you haven't already. Post console output. Maybe playing around with the windows version to be emulated might help (e.g. choose "Windows 98" in winecfg). A similar topic has been discussed here before, though under linux, see http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=3604 There's an AppDB entry, though very old: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21188 If all that doesn't help, please file a bug.
