Hmm, strange problems you have there. Haven't seen any of that on my system, and every game I've tried works without hitches. Granted the list isn't very long, but it does include mostly older stuff.
Here's my gaming history so far. I haven't installed DX9 at all, or any else additional stuff. No workarounds used.
IL2 1946: Ok in DirectX-mode. OpenGL doesn't work thanks to Ati. Folder copied straight from XP without installing anything.
Falcon 4 AF: Ok. Installed from CD.
Arma: Ok. Installed from CD.
Silent Hunter 3: Ok. Installed from CD.
Silent Hunter 4: Ok. Folder copied straight from XP without installing anything.
