Not sure about your initial problem, but I do know that you have created 
permissions problems on your ~/.wine by running as root.  You should never 
log in as root if your normal username works, and you should never use root 
unless you have a clear reason to do so, and even then, only for the task 
that needs such permissions (such as installing or removing packages, adding 
or deleting users, inserting or removing kernel modules and other tasks of an 
administrative or emergency recovery nature).  Running with elevated 
privleges when you don't need them is a great way to complicate your life as 
a user on any platform in a great number of ways, almost all of which are 
beyond the scope of this list.

If you hosed the permissions on your ~/.wine, you'll need to 
# chown -R user:user ~/.wine
(replace user with your username) to get it back the way it should be.

Wine assumes you meant to have "administrator" privleges in "Windows."  This 
shouldn't be a problem as far as Windows malware affecting your system beyond 
~/.wine is concerned, as long as you're running wine as a normal, 
not-root-privleged user.
