You might want to try different publishers of the games.

"Natalie Brooks: Mystery at Hillcrest High" works with Big Fish Games
for me. NOTE: You need to install IE6 via winetricks to get the Big
Fish Games client working:

   wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
   chmod 755 winetricks
   WINEPREFIX=~/BigFishGames ./winetricks ie6

To install the game, you can then run:

   WINEPREFIX=~/BigFishGames wine
~/Downloads/natalie-brooks-mystery-at-hillcrest-high_s1_l1_gF5352T1L1_d1039351947.exe
