I have DX9 installed and I can run 3dMark2k3 but when I try to run 3dmark2001 it just tells me that I need to have at least DX8.1 installed.
Is there any way around this?

you need to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall the current build

"Q: I installed DirectX 9 and now 3DMark2001 SE tells me that I need DirectX 8.1, what gives?
A: We have noticed this behavior and the solution is quite easy. Uninstall your 3DMark2001 SE, download the latest version (Build 330) if you don`t have it already, reboot your machine and install 3DMark2001 SE again."
