What is name of the program you are trying to run.  The program maybe confused as to the screen resolution.  Try running winecfg and selecting virtual desktop and inputting a screen resolution smaller than your actual screen size.  For example if your screen is 1440 x 900, then enter 1024x768.

You should not have a problem when you run this program.  If you are on a brand new .wine and this happens, you should check your X configuration to insure that it is correct.
