Wee that worked! But... I get a message with the title Low Desktop Color Depth saying It is highly unlikely that a correct windowed display can be initialized with the current desktop display depth. Press OK if you want to continue anyway. Press CANCEL if you have a 3D FX Voodoo, Voodoo 2 or Voodoo Bush 3D accelerator installed, or if you wish to quit.

Whatever button I click I get the same result, the game shuts down. What should I do? How do I change that color depth???

Check the ~/.wine/config file, there you can see the desktop resolution, the bitdepth, and a buch of other options (they're selfexplainatory)
