Steve,

Using a phrase "put this to rest" is a rude approach at help. Frankly, I no
longer care if this works for you.

It took 2 emails to get your wine version (which you've compiled from
source), 3 emails to get your NVIDIA driver version (which has a bug report
with the game you are running), and to top it off, you're being impatient
with possibly the only person willing to help you.

The solution to your problem lies deep deep down inside the heart of your
ignorance.
