3DMark2001 SE (build 330) doesn't work with DirectX 9.0b?

[kasplat]

The Futuremark FAQ says to uninstall, reboot, and then reinstall 3DMark2001 SE. However, I still get an error message saying that 3DMark2001 SE requires DirectX 8.1 on my Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) system.

Are there any other workarounds besides the Futuremark FAQ suggestion which didn't work?

Well I re-installed the patch and now it seems to work. No idea what changed. The only suggestion I can make is despite what version you might think you have and what the error.log reports, go ahead and install the patch once or twice (in my case) and maybe throw in a reboot as well and see if it starts working.
