What version of Wine is your 'new' laptop running and is it possible to 
'downgrade' it to Wine 1.3.12?

Also, what kind of and model of video card and what drivers are you 
using on the old laptop and the new?

This may be a video driver issue.  AMD/ATI video cards are known to have 
less the high quality drivers, lntel drivers are the worst an nVidia are 
the best for Linux and Wine.
