Problem with wine

Hallo to everyone.
I was trying to play guild wars on a windowed mode, and i clicked the X button on guildwars, so my whole wine got screwed and i had to restart my laptop. Ever since, wine configuration has a huge interface which i cant make smaller. i cant see all of it and i cannot do anything for the configuration. Any hints?
I am on Ubuntu 8.04

If Linux is ok but wine apps display huge, then the dpi settings
probably got messed up. You can move the window around
with the mouse while holding ALT, does that help?

i have wine working in a windowed mode.

if i press alt, the window moves, but the "configuration" window INSIDE the wine window is still the same. That one is the huge one, not the "main" wine one.I dont want to move the main wine window, but the one inside. I see huge bold letters for the configuration window...and i see almost 1/4 of it because its huge...i hope you get my point and thank you for the answer

Annoying artifact of MoinMoin. Needs a feature request. (There's no
reason why section anchors couldn't be the name of the d*mn section,
like in MediaWiki.)
