I was using the latest version of wine as of Nov 28, 2008: 1.1.9. I'm also using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. You sure it's Wine and not new ubuntu version? Many users report that 8.10 broke Wine in lots of different ways. This is exactly what you are seeing. You can try older Wine version to see if it will work any better but I doubt.
