[Wine]Problem starting wine

Any suggestions to fix the following?

After upgrading from Suse 9.1 to 9.2.  I get the messages

    Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not 
accessible.
    Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows\\System" is 
not accessible.

It does this on two programs that worked correctly with Suse 9.1, but fail 
after the upgrade.  

After the upgrade, the Linux startup had a warning with each windows partition 
mount: 
utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT ...

Based on a www search I changed the charset to cp850, which eliminated the 
warning, but it did not change the wine startup problem.  My understanding is 
that the IO charset involves translation of the file names, which could be a 
source of the wine startup problem.
