Hi
No I don’t have DirectX 4, but I agree the way Dxdiag shows the DirectX version can be slightly confusing.
Version Number: 4.09.0000.0902
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b
DirectX info found here:

However I found a solution to this problem:
In the Game Options I changed “Show Introduction” from Yes to No and now can I start the game without any problems.
Merry Christmas
