You know it would be very helpful if you put the name of the program
in the topic title and somewhere in the forum message.

I would suggest trying Wine-1.3.31 when it becomes available for your
specific Linux distribution.  There are many fixes for problems
encountered with 1.3.29 and 1.3.30.

Oops, sorry its about Jolly Rover the game. Version 1.3.31 gives the same
stuff....

Run a regression test and file a bug. http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting

omg thats far to complicaed for me.....

paulthetall wine is not 100 percent stable software.   I stay away from
installing anything in wine that has a install counter.

Heck even on windows I say well clear of anything that has a install counter
where I can as well.

You find that that a lot of these programs can also become under windows non
activated due to windows updates and drivers so slowly but surely eat threw
there activation count.

I see them as a huge con job.   You are being ripped off and you are being too
blind to see it.
