           Summary: Hardwar launcher fails to start: 'Can't initialize
                    DirectDraw object'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.28

Hardwar was originally released in 1998, it uses DirectX5. The game has been
recently re-released by DotEmu (they made the game compatible with modern
systems, Vista/Seven etc.).

The problem: when starting the launcher (Hardman.exe), I get the following
error message:
'Can't initialize DirectDraw object'.

The problem is reproducible in the early demo too (link added to url).

In the terminal only
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f158,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:ddraw:ddraw7_Initialize iface 0x135fb0, guid (null) stub!

The launcher works in 1.3.28, but not in git (wine-1.3.28-308-gae80430). This
is due to the following commit:

5de020342cc039819b6fe11ee787d5a9a288f85a is the first bad commit

Steps to reproduce the problem in the demo:
1) Unpack the archive containing the installer, run Setup.exe (Win98 mode is
needed to install the demo properly).
2) Run the launcher by Hardman.exe and see the error message.
