You seem to have installed native d3d9, that's not supported. Does the bug also happen in a clean WINEPREFIX?
I deactivated d3d9 and the opening screen came up, but then nothing. So I installed the last stable version of wine and now it's running ok. However another game that was working now freezes up. Gain one, lose one!
Is there a list of the settings I should use for wine (win xp) that may help?
