wine users - Aug 2010 - empire total war stuck at startup (copyright) page

Hi,

This is my second day since owning empire total war. Really looking forward to
playing it, but I have not. I'm using the latest wine program. I follow the
winehq 's description for installing empire total war (installing d3dx9,
changing registry, placing MSVCP80.dll at system32 and winecfg). Now, I'm
stuck at the startup page (where all the copyright details are). Loading stops
and if i drag anything pass this page, it leaves a shadow.

I would really appreciate if anyone helps me out. I will paste the terminal
output in another post.

Thanks ahead of time.

The ending output from terminal before the game crash

Files\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\Empire.exe"

Remove the dll file you installed and follow the instructions dimensio 
gave you.

If you need help with winetricks:

is the place to look.
