These are running on a decent spec Vista machine that is not running through VM.

I don't know if 3D acceleration is on; it looks like it is off (the
colour gradiant sweep tests take a while to flick through). This is
strange though, because it is the default configuration for the Vista
machine and games like Oblivion and Command and Conquer 3 play fine
(but those are using D3D, not DDraw).

Do you know how to turn 3D acceleration on in Vista?

That said, Wine Test Shell should accept this as a valid test run and
not timeout.
