i would also recommend to not use any winetricks unless they are really necessary (like directx9 here). It just makes bug hunting a lot harder.

but my point was rather that maybe the bug that Judas mentioned can be avoided by switching to Windows XP mode.
if you switch your wineprefix to windows 7 and see the same error as in the bug report than we would have one more confirmed hint where this bug is coming from.
if it still works for you in windows 7 mode then there is obviously some other factor responsible for this bug.
