Mathetrainer is a german educational software. It installs fine on Wine, but
after starting it insists on inserting the original CD in the CD drive although
it is in the drive. A scan of the main executable with a copy protection
scanner reveals

Scanning -> c:\Programme\Klett\Mathetrainer 5\Mathetrainer.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 1231923 (012CC33h) Bytes
-> File has 46094 (0B40Eh) bytes of appended data starting at offset 0121825h
[!] Protect DiSC v6.2 - v6.8 (Build 12-07-2005) detected !
[!] exact version: Protect DiSC v6.2.5 !
[!] protection level: Basic

According to
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections_protectcd.shtml this
protection also refered as ProtectCD is a commonly used protection scheme.
Other titles like "Need For Speed" and "Quake 3" make use of this protection
scheme too. 

The application Mathetrainer seems to be based on Delphi and flash would
probably run if the copy protection check would succeed on Wine.
