DirectX 9c problems

I just bought Sacred.
Problem is I can't play it. I installed it and as part of the install it installed DirectX 9c, upgrading from my pervious version 8.
Either the game or the PC fails to initialise the DirectX application and terminates.

I have logged request for help with the Sacred Forums, and also followed the advice they have provided to others with the same issue.
I have downloaded the Microsoft version of DirectX 9c in case the version supplied on the CD was corrupt in some way. (As usual Microsoft were not very helpful. I found this page saying you can't remove DirectX)
I rolled my system back, uninstalled the game, installed DirectX 9c, reinstalled the game - no dice.
I have flashed my CD-ROM drive with the latest firmware upgrade, checked the device drivers are up to date, installed the latest video card drivers and still nothing.
I guess I have to wait for the forums to "maybe" help me.
