wine users - Jul 2011 - Programs Won't Run in WINE

Hi!  I've been using Linux for exactly six days, now, and I've been
using Linux Mint for two (I made the mistake of trying to start-out with
Debian).
Anyway, I'm trying to get WINE to work.  So far, I can get things to
install, but nothing really runs.  For example:
    *Oblivion: works until I click to make a new character, and then crashes
before the intro video.  There is no music outside of the launcher and the
loading videos which come before the main menu.  Rated 'Gold' at WINEhq.
    *Medieval II Total War: It won't run.  Sometimes, it'll give me an
error.  Rated 'Gold' at WINEhq.
There are others, too, but the only ones that works so far without glitches are
Steam and the ones that came automatically with WINE.
Also: I have winetricks installed.  

Does anyone have any advice on what to do?  I'd try to give more
information, but I don't know any WINE diagnostics.

Thanks in advance.

First and foremost:  Please, please, please (gets off of knees) visit
the Applications Database.
The Applications database has helpful information on how to run
programs with Steam and if you want to run these programs in
stand-alone mode.
Second.  What winetricks did you install?  Some of them may actually
cause problems with the programs you are trying to run.
Thank you.

I have already checked the application database (that's how I knew what
ratings it gave to TESIV and M2TW)
As far as Winetricks go, I'll take some screenshots, upload them, and then
link them back here.

I've just upgraded to the development-release and run the script you gave
me.  Here's the output:
