The tutorial
  1. Download WineD3D for Windows version "4.5 staging" from this link[downloads.fdossena.com] (direct download). You can also go to Federico Dossena's website[fdossena.com], access "Older versions archive" and download it from there.
  2. Open the ZIP archive and extract ddraw.dll, libwine.dll, and wined3d.dll to C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\PlantsVsZombies.
  3. Open the game, and open the options menu. 3D acceleration should be enabled; if it is not, enable it.
ℹ️ If it is still not possible to enable 3D acceleration: try extracting the files to game installation folder as well.

That's it.

It should work on full-screen too, but I've personally only recall playing it in windowed mode as full-screen causes graphics to be of much lower quality.

See https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Windows#dll-loading-issues . It is about DXVK, but should work for other DLLs too. Keep in mind that enabling it may cause conflicts with other software.
