I've experienced the same issue: going back to the 185 drivers solved the problem. I haven't tested the 190 drivers, but as 185 works, I see no need to.

Subject: [Wine]  Wine Problems after upgrading Nvidia drivers

Hello, i am running ubuntu 9.10 64bit. Wine 1.1.35
also have nvidia 8800GTS. 
when i first installed wine, i was using the nvidia 185.xx drivers, had return to castle wolfenstien and dragon age origns installed and playable. 
RTCW worked 100% no issues.
Dragon Age Origins ran but was haveing graphic issues in game, black flickering.

i decided to upgrade my video drivers, from 185.xx to 195.xx ( i know 195.xx is beta, perhaps i should have went with 190.xx)

after upgrading my drivers, i could not get any games to run under wine.
Dragon age origins would try to start, show splash window, then crash.

RTCW would try to start then the console would come up and say 
GLW_StartOpenGL () - could not load OpenGL subsystem.

i decided to reinstall wine using  Synaptic, marked everything for complete remove all, then i rebooted my system, went back to synaptic and installed wine 1.1.35 again.  but i am still having the same issues. 

I am unsure as to what to do now.  
any help would be awesome.
