Wine no longer launching Apps

[Matt Sebrasky]

Hello all,
Yesterday my copy of Wine (1.1.12) no longer launches graphic intensive
applications. It will launch notepad, but WOW, City of Heroes, or any
game I have on Steam simply does not open. The respective splash screens
come up for those games, as does the steam client itself, but once tried
to launch they fail.
When I attempt to run wow via wine in the terminal, I get the following
message:

user@Matt-Laptop:~$ wine wow

user@Matt-Laptop:~$ fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl -> SIO_ADDRESS_LIST_CHANGE

Now I'm something of a noob with WINE and Linux in general, so any help
on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to cd to the directory that contains wow.exe first.

See, like I said noob.
Ok, so I've done that and here's the results:
