Direct X version is found by running the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:
Go START-RUN and enter dxdiag, which opens the tool in its own window. Your version is bottom center, the last entry in the System Information box. Assuming you're running a Windows version later than 9X and have automatic updates on you should have DX 9.0c but maybe not.
Running the game patched to a DX version that you don't have might cause similar problems to running an unpatched game with updated DX. It shouldn't be a problem, but since Windows is a little goofy getting these things to agree is a simple way to eliminate one potential source of your problem.
