           Summary: World War One Gold demo fails to start: 'Clock
                    manipulation detected!' [Exe Cryptor protection]
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.26
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/212341/210000/fileinfo/World
                    -War-One:-Gold-Edition-Demo
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: gyebro69 at gmail.com


After starting the trial version of the game I'm getting the following error
message:
'Clock manipulation detected!'
Afterwards the game simply quits.
Not a single line appears in the terminal during the game execution.

Normally (under Windows), a trial reminder should appear, showing something
like
'You have xx days left'.

The problem is probably due to the fact that the game executable is protected
by ExeCryptor. Protection Id tells us the facts:

Scanning -> C:\Program Files\World War One Gold\WW1.exe
File Type : 32-Bit Exe (Subsystem : Win GUI / 2), Size : 9533952 (0917A00h)
Byte(s)
[File Heuristics] -> Flag : 00000000000000011100000000100011 (0x0001C023)
[!] EXE Cryptor v2.20 - v2.40 detected !
[!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> trial period
[CompilerDetect] -> Visual C++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005)
- Scan Took : 1.459 Second(s)

Note: the size of the demo for WWI Gold is huge (1.4 GB). One can easily
reproduce the reported problem by starting the trial version of Universal
Mechanic (uses the same protection method, only 88 MB):
http://www.umlab.ru/download/60/eng/um60.exe
(after installation launch either UMInput.exe or UmSimul.exe to get the same
error message).

Fedora 15 x86
