I had a similar problem, and advice from debian-user helped me solve
it. A good deal of luck was involved, and I do NOT promise that what I
did will work you, of course. But you might take a look at the thread
=66rom late March/early April on under the heading "Will
wine|win4lin|VMWare save my XP bacon?"  You could pick it up at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/04/msg00016.html.
