Austin and yaturner:

Fresh .wine == rm -rf ~/.wine

However, you just might not want to do this.  Backup your current .wine 
by using the move (mv) command instead.  This allows you to restore the 
.wine directory if a fresh .wine does not fix the problem.

code:
mv .wine{,.backup}

restore old .wine
code:
rm -rf .wine
mv .wine.backup .wine

Stop and start wineserver:
wineserver -k
winserver (or) start any Windows program with Wine.
