--- Comment #9 from WineBuG winebugs140@gmail.com 2013-10-13 17:33:47 CDT --- I don't know if it's the same problem, but if in Resident Evil 2 Demo one chooses Unknown card (it's named the same on Windows Vista, but I'm not sure this is correct) as a display driver instead of Software Mode the message appears 'It failed in the initialization of DIRECTX', and the game doesn't run. I've attatched the log.
