This game is from around 1998, does it run under newer OSes like XP or Vista
without setting compatibility mode?
I tried the demo in Wine 1.5.21 and could reproduce the problem. When launching
the game in the default WinXP mode, it refuses to start because many of the
registry keys under 'HKLM/Software/Red Storm Entertainment/Tom Clancy's Rainbow
Six Demo' are not created for some reason.
If you start the game in Win98 mode, those registry keys are created correctly
and the game will run from then on even if you switch back to Windows XP mode.
Also, if the game is running in Windows XP mode and you make any changes in the
options menu, those changes are not written in the registry, probably due to
the same problem.
