           Summary: Freeware games refuse to load
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.39.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: azrael4h at yahoo.com


Several freeware remakes of some classic games will not load in Wine. At least
one of them does, however. The games that will not load for me are Bump 'N Jump,
Ghostbusters, and Ghouls and Ghosts. Ghostbusters II will load, and works fine
as far as I can tell (I have no idea what the controls are, so I occasionally
manage to do something other than get slimed). All are of about the same
graphical and sound quality; except G&G, which is more like a SNES game or 2D
PS1 game. 

Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory
'/home/pike/GhoulsnGhosts', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\game_windowed.exe": Module not found

This is the error message reported; it says the same thing for all three games.
These are low-requirement games, so I'm not sure what the issue is. It also
kicked the same message back when going into Winecfg to check the version, so
it's not the games themselves. All of them work fine on a WinXP machine.
