uninstall 2K1 then reinstall it. that fixed it for me when that happened. just so you know, it's not a DX compatibility issue 
I had exact same problem,
somehow or another i had an older version of d3d8.dll and its not compatible with 3d2001 SE
Just go to http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/index.shtml
Download d3d8.dll replace it and it works fine.

Make sure you've got build 330 (last and most recent).

Use "Search" (start, search(xp users)), then type the dll name in, see where its located, copy the new dll to that folder overwriting the current one. Would of thought it would be that simple....unless theres something i'm missing?.. good luck dude... hope that helps.

When un-installing did you check to see if any registry entries or folders remained?.... some files like to linger after un-installs on some programs, might be a good idea to see if anything was left behind after the un-install. If a bad file had remained then the reinstall was bound to not work.
Just an idea!*!

Are you 100% sure you have build 330? Some of the mirrors mentioned in the Build 330 d/l page have the old version.
I had the same problem too after downloading from voodoofiles, but I chose another mirror that really was Build 330 and it works now.
Or just try downloading the Build 300->330 patch.
