At the forum, there's a suggestion to fix using regedit, but it did not help in my case.

Additional info:
* package version(s): wine-1.1.13-1
* display drivernvidia: nvidia-96xx 96.43.09-1

Steps to reproduce:
run any gui windows app, i checked with Internet Explorer.
This task depends upon

Afaik this is caused by a bug within the nvidia beta driver. Try nv or vesa to verify this. It's fixed with the 180.xx drivers. (Well in that case the problem is that you cannot use the 180.xx driver with older hardware)

changing the driver to nv in xorg.conf indeed fixed it.
