	Then this is problem with copy protection, a lot of copy protection systems 
doesn't work yet under Wine. You should try Cedega if running this 
application is important to you, but as I said Cedega is much worse than 
Wine, but it have support for more copy protection systems.

	P.S. Don't forget to CC to the list so others can see the discussion.
