Can't Run 3DMark 2001SE Any More

System in question is WinXP Pro with DirectX 9.0, with ATI 9500 Pro video card.
After installing DirectX 9.0, I can neither run nor reinstall 3DMark 2001SE. 3DMark03 (Futuremark) runs beautifully. I realize that 2001SE is configured to run of DX 8.0. With that said though, I thought DirectX 9.0 was backwards compatible? Before I upgraded to the 9500 Pro, I was using an 8500LE; it also would not run 2001SE with DirectX 9.0. This has my a bit confused, as I'm seeing the the benchmark entusiasts are still using 2001SE as the standard.
What's up wit dis?

Had already removed and reinstalled 3DMark2001SE several times, including re-installing Build 330.
Work around - merely copied the installation from another networked home computer. Works perfectly now.
