emm, a simple question..is your directx 9 works in other games?
everything, the 3d...everything? because my directx 9 is ok exept it cant render 3d..
and you cant install dx8.1 on dx9 as much as i know..
did you try opengl, is it works on opengl?
if it is then i think its something in the directx more than irrlicht (the problem thing), search for the problem with dxdiag.exe (of your newest dx version)
if not then the problem is probably in irrlicht with your computer..
i dont think you downloaded a corrupt file (didnt downloaded irrlicht well(100%))..but you can try to download irrlicht again(that means i have no idea whats wrong, i am a beginner too

oh, and btw: the problem is- the irrlicht engine couldnt use directx as a graphic driver
