I only get this error when I don't have windows 98 compatibility selected correctly. Also Xavier those registry keys are optional for Direct3d and the game will run without them. That's why I removed you posts and mine but I will leave this bug open.
I told you already however that despite selecting Windows 98 compatibility in winecfg, I still get the error. I think it needs more investigation. You told me about a bug in Wine which prevents the compatibility mode to work properly. Maybe is it that component which screws it up?
