You should NEVER log in as root unless you're painted into a corner where 
doing so is the only possible way, and even then only to get the task 
requiring root done.  Before continuing, make sure you have a normal user 
account, log out of root, and use your normal account.  Same goes for su or 
sudo:  Don't use these commands to use root privleges when they're not 
necessary, either.

If the program you were trying to run is installed on your Windows partition, 
yes, you should reinstall it in wine.  Wine has it's own registry and is not 
aware of any possible Windows installation's registry and vice versa:  Trying 
to install programs in Windows and expecting them to work under Wine won't 
work for the same reason you can't install programs in Wine and expect them 
to work in Windows.
