Howdy,
I'm no expert, but I'm learning loads quickly. Wine is a work in
progress; chances are a lot of the problems you're seeing are fixed in
newer versions.
What version of wine are you using? If it's made for RH7.0, it's
probably pretty old. Try upgrading to a newer version, but be
forewarned, you'll have to upgrade a bunch of other stuff along the
way. If you aren't comfortable with rpm downloads and chasing
dependencies, I recommend upgrading to RH7.2, and then working from
there.
Good luck.
Oliver
