Some 'newer' win apps need DX9, won't work good with a lower DX version.
First that comes in mind: WMediaPlayer, IE, your Viddrivers probably also need that DX9.
You always can try to disable hardware accel via:
Run->dxdiag
Disable it in the screen (monitor?) tab.
You always can re-enable it the same way, this will not harm your system.
Can help sometimes to get older games running.
