'fixme's are just stubs in the code for uncoded features.  I.e. they
don't work in wine.  They might be coded in a later wine version.  Where
did you get your version?  From the Ubuntu repositories or the PPA.  The
PPA has more up to date versions.  Alternatively, you can use the MS
msvcrt.dll and tell Wine to use it for this app.  

But are you sure that this is the cause of your problem?

You may get some better advice from the Wine site 

http://www.winehq.org/

They have been very helpful to me in the past.
