Hi Tom, I tried that one file, and it still is giving me the same error message. It's not the game that's giving me the error message, it's the installation of directx. I'm running the 32 bit version of windows.

The only one you needed was the dxwebsetup.exe file for February 2010 which is for Windows 7. if you installed that and the game still doesn't work I haven't a clue what the problem is unless you are running a 64 byt version of Windows. If that is the case then that's probibly the source of your problems. The 64 byt versions of windows 7 are a serious problem with older games, and as a developer I am hard pressed to make sure everything I design is both 32 byt and 64 byt compatible.
