If you've filed a bug for a problem, please include a link
to the bug when discussing it; that will save us time.
In this case, it's
http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10725

I assume you're starting the app from its own directory
(after the yelling from Vitaliy)!

Suggestion: try running it with Crossover from Codeweavers.
That's essentially plain old wine with a few flourishes,
and it's known to run Office 2000 well.
If that doesn't work, we'll call in an exorcist :-)
