Where did you see those instructions? There's no howto in the AppDB for any of the versions of this game.
MSVCP80.dll does not belong in system32. If you really need it, install it with winetricks vcrun2005, which will put it in the right place. But I see nothing in the AppDB to suggest you do need it for this game.
Exactly what registry changes did you make?
Note there's also a known bug affecting this game. There's a patch in the bug report. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18490
