About DX9 Problems:
DX10 or DX11 are NOT compatible to DX9 file versions.
To run SH3 the old/original DX9 files version is mandatory!!!
By installing older games do never disable their “old/original” DX version!
Coase; by installing older Games/DX Versions Windows analyze these files and create a compatible copy/variant of these (old) DX files into the System library.
Means; if original DX9 files not installed the SH3 installation will not work fine, especially not in WS resolution!

Another Tip is to install the latest…
Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX

These workarounds mostly fix such problems.
That’s more or less all I can say and explain (with my limited english).

Well, Urmel, I have often suggested to install the latest version, that is
version 9.29.1974.
No one ever complained after installing that one on newer OS like WIN 7 / 8. And the game often works after that.
DX 10 / 11 does not include everything that version 9.x has.
