Go to <ulink url="http://groups.google.com">Google Groups</ulink>
and check whether some guys are smarter than you ;-)
(well, whether they found a solution to the problem, that is)
Go to <ulink url="http://appdb.codeweavers.com">WineHQ's
Application Database</ulink> and check whether
someone posted the vital config hint for your app.
If that doesn't help, then consider going to
irc.freenode.net channel #WineHQ, posting to
news:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine or mailing to the wine-users
(or maybe sometimes even wine-devel) mailing lists.

If you have, then try

The Perfect Enduser Wine Debugging Guide</ulink>, and of
course don't forget to read the Wine Developers Guide.
Finding the source of your problem is the next step to take.
There is a wide spectrum of possible problems
ranging from simple configurations issues to completely unimplemented
functionality in Wine. The next section will describe how to
file a bug report and how to begin debugging a crash. For more
information on using Wine's debugging facilities be sure to read
the Wine Developers Guide.
