Windows drivers will not work in Linux. 

The little I could find from googling Chrome 9 is that the proprietary Linux drivers are dreadful and that the open source ones (openchrome), while a little better, do not have 3D support. 

You didn't mention whether this is a laptop or not, but if it's not, the best solution would be to buy an nVidia card. Unless you're a hardcore gamer, a low-end card costing $30 or less should work just fine.

It's really not possible to troubleshoot Wine until you get the graphics driver issue sorted out.
