Yes, I forgot to mention: I did try the compatibility trick, but it didn't work. Would've been too simple to be true. :P

Trying to come up with a solution, I realize the pc game is actually a port from a PC38 version. So I assumed if I found the original PX38 rom and played it with a PC38 emulator, it'd work.

It wasn't easy to find the rom, but it appears to be in this torrent:

Here's the problem, tho: there's about 280.000 files or more in that torrent, and there's no option to deselect them all when I try to launch it. Is there a way to deselect them all except Metal & Lace 2?

Depends on the torrent client you are using. There definitely is an option to do that in uTorrent.

Disc images for Windows 95, 98 and XP are relatively easy to *ahem* obtain if you know where to look.

The problem isn't with not having DirectX or not having it enabled.
It's with the game relying on a different - much older - version of the API .
You could try disabling DirectDraw and seeing if that changes the game's reaction - it's known to fix similar issues with certain old games, but there is no certainity as to whether it will work here (and obviously you'll want to set it back on after you've finished playing the game)
