This probs in the full version which is out here for some reason (ship got in early?)

Sounds like directX. Reinstall 6 from www.microsoft.com/directx and let me know what where it happens if that doesn't fix it.

What the heck? I got the same error. I have not tried to reinstall directx 6.1 yet, but I will and I will let you know the results. In the meantime, do you have any other suggestions if this does not work?
BTW: I have an alternate email address if you don't mind sending to both:
