In my ~/.wine/config, there is a section like this:
[Version]
; Windows version to imitate
(win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win2k3,wi
n20,win30,win31)
"Windows" = "win98"
; DOS version to imitate
;"DOS" = "6.22"
In your config file, the line
"Windows" = "win98"
is probably commented out (it has a semicolon in front)
Remove the semicolon and select the windows version to simulate/emulate;
(I usually choose win98 there)
HTH,
