If this is working why you changed bug resolution? If you cannot reproduce this
bug with clean WINE prefix then this means it's INVALID.

BTW, in future if you have questions like this write your question to
wine-users ML or WINE forum. Bugzilla is really isn't a place for this.

Short answer:

Some time ago I wanted to recover one of my WINE prefixes (which stopped
working for unknown reason with strange errors) and I ended up removing a half
of registry file (first you want to find out what registry file causing the
problem by moving them away one-by-one), trying what isn't working again
(running winecfg in your case), and if it works - put what I removed back and
trying to remove another half of registry. If it doesn't, put back just a half
of what I removed. And so on... If you lucky enough and have enough patience,
you will find what's wrong with your registry. But personally I don't recommend
above way unless you really need to repair your broken prefix because this can
take hours of manual work...

In case if you have more questions or need farther help please ask on WINE
mailing list or forum, bugzilla isn't a place for that. Thanks.
