Wine won't run, and winecfg returns an error

[Dave M G]

Ubuntu Users,

    I installed Wine, and it was working great. And then I was following 
the instructions on this page:

    I got to the point where I used winecfg to install some dll files, 
and then after that, wine stopped working completely. I must have typed 
in the name wrong or something.

    My first attempt to repair the situation was to go back to Synaptic 
and reinstall the software. But I still get the following error when 
running winecfg, and any attempt to run wine itself simply produces no 
output or results whatsoever.

    This is the error output from winecfg:

dave at ubuntu1:~$ winecfg
err:thunk:_loadthunk (commctrl.dll, Cctl1632_ThunkData16, comctl32.dll): 
Unable to load 'commctrl.dll', error 2
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "comctl32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for 
L"C:\\windows\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000142

    Any ideas how I get Wine back up and running?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.
