I can reproduce the issue. The game tries to fill the entire video memory with
surfaces. Each surface gets a DIB section, and GDI runs out of handles. In the
old ddraw code it worked because it faked only 8 MB of video memory. Wined3d
tries to make a reasonable guess based on your GPU, so usually you have up to
two gigs of emulated vidmem.

There are two workarounds: The first is to use the opengl renderer for
directdraw, which doesn't need DIB sections for most of its surfaces. Or you
could limit the video memory to a small size. See the useful registry keys wiki
page for details on both settings.
