I have the same problem, and worse it seems FI.dll has corrupted my machine in such a way I get a black screen everytime I tried loading other games like Jagged Alliance 2; I tried running the Direct X dialog and I got the black screen when running the Direct 3d test as well as the direct draw test (bouncing cube) in full screen, I'll try reloading Direct X later to see if that fixes the problem.
Ok, I fixed the problem and found it was not Direct X but my video card driver which was corrupt (I only have a shitty S3 Trio 3D/2X), once I reloaded the driver I got rid of the black screen.
