--- Comment #8 from Michael Müller <michael at fds-team.de> ---
Are you sure that the C&C95.exe executable is supposed to work on modern
Windows versions? From your back trace the game is trying to talk to the VGA
controller by reading from the port 0x3DA (see
http://wiki.osdev.org/VGA_Hardware). This is emulated by Windows 9X, but would
also lead to a crash on more modern Windows NT versions. The crash is
definitely unrelated to Origin.

I would suggest to reinstall Origin in a 32 bit prefix and set the Windows
version to Windows 98 for the C&C95.exe executable using winecfg. Wine has some
emulation code for VGA hardware in the Win 9X mode, but I am not sure if it is
sufficient.
