DirectX 7 is supported since quite a long time. I'm currently re-writing ddraw 
and d3d7 support.

Most likly it uses some strange way to determine if directx is supported, like 
checking for the existance of a .dll file. A +file trace might reveal 
something. Perhaps it checks for a fixed directx version string, and fails 
because we have the dx9 string, but it expects dx7. Unlikely, but I've once 
seen an app that failed for this reason in Windows
