Did this ever work flawlessly for you? You just said it'd been bothering you for two years. I understood that it had been working at some point in the past, but of course you also could have meant it never worked for you for two years. If it worked in the past, there are archives with older wine packages (depending on your Linux distribution), which you could try, e.g. http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/binary/
