This means your video card set resolution not supported by your monitor.

In most cases this means that Xorg is misconfigured and reports to Wine video modes (resolution + refresh rate) that are not supported by your monitor. Wine always chooses the best refresh rate for given resolution.

You need to fix your Xorg config, use virtual desktop mode or override refresh rate (might not always work):

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectDraw]
ForceRefreshRate=60
