I'll second John's comment and add that Wine has difficulties running programs from within the Windows NTFS file structure.
The FAQ advises to install the program in the Linux file structure, but you are not forced to save files in the Linux file structure, although it is best to do so.  If you can, create a third, FAT or FAT32 structure to save data to swap between Windows and Linux.  Of course, this is NOT necessary if you are abandoning Windows.
