you could try reinstalling, and this time do it as administrator.

Did you buy it or did you pirate it?
If you bought it, where did you get it from?

Did you try to install DirectX 9c. It will update existing DirectX components on Windows 7. You don't need "compatible mode". The game works fine on my x64 Windows 7.
