Is this DirectX's fault, or mine?

I just re-installed Journeyman Project 3, and when prompted to install DirectX5, I said no, because I have
DirectX9.
So boot up the game, no visuals. Boo.
Uninstall, reinstall saying yes to 5, because perhaps there are some files that are in v. 5 that aren't in 9 that the game requires.
Boot up the game, no visuals, boo.

Anyone know where I should go from here?

    Hmm, DX9 *should* be backwards compatible (i.e. provide the interfaces for all of the previous versions of DirectX) unless they broke their own rule about COM Versioning... tisk tisk Microsoft.

    When you say you re-installed the game, had it worked before with the *exact* configuration you're running right now (same video card, sound card, processor etc...)?

    No, I'm using a newer video card.
    I should clarify that no *moving* video plays, I hear the opening cinematics, and after that the menu
    pops up correctly. When the game is started, the HUD appears, but none of the other visuals.

    Try turning all the 3D options down manually in the NVidia/ATI control panel. This worked for me once when an old game was only giving partial visuals.
