[Bug 11875] New: Wine crashes and won't initialize any type of application

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11875

Summary: Wine crashes and won't initialize any type of
                    application
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: loader
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I reinstalled Wine 0.9.56 from the repository onto my Xubuntu 7.10 machine.
When I try to run any application I get an error message stating no window can
be created. This afternoon I got a game to run for a couple of hours even
though it could not actually played, but I could start it. Now whatever I do I
get this message:

Host[user]:~ $ winecfg
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Unknown error (998).
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Unknown error (998).
err:ole:apartment_createwindowifneeded CreateWindow failed with error 998

And this can also be said for any other application even though those still
produce other error messages beside that, but this is not the bug I'm trying to
describe. I run a Dualhead setup on an ATI graphics card with the latest
drivers (Catalyst 8.3 - 8.47.3). I get this 100% of the time and I did not
change anything on my system since this afternoon. I did purge Wine from the
system and reinstalled it from scratch but it produces this bug right "out of
the box".
