Thanks to a helpful tip from a GOG.com user, I've managed to get this game working perfectly at long last. It seems that two simple steps are necessary. First, using the command "regedit," add the following key to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Wine\Direct3d:
DirectDrawRenderer -> opengl
Second, set the game to use a virtual desktop with a resolution of 1024 x 768.
With these two settings, the game works perfectly. One note, however. The game gives you the option of setting an independent resolution for the 3D planetary battles. If you use a higher resolution, it must be a non-widescreen resolution. One my machine, 1280 x 960 caused a crash upon initiating a planetary battle, while 1280 x 1024 did not. I have not tried this on a non-widescreen monitor, but I doubt there will be a different result.
