The F1_2000.exe file is linbed to missing input DINPUT.DLL:
DirectInputCreateEx.
Wich means I can't play F1_2000 yet!!! I tried putting a diffirent
dinput.dll in my Windows\system dir but that doesn't help.

Yeah, same thing is happening to me. I have a guess, but I haven't
tried it yet. Did you try to run the game from the c drive, or are you
running it from another location? I have the windows stuff in c, and
the game is in another drive g. I'm thinking that maybe it can't see
the required DLL file from that other drive. Thus, trying running the
game from the same drive that windows is installed in. Just a wild ass
guess, but let me know if that works.

Download the latest version of DirectX (V. 7.0a), should fix your
problem. I had the same dillema but was able to fix it by getting
DirectX7.

Good Luck

Welcome to the 'graphic problems with F1 2000' club Tim :)

What card do you use? Which drivers? Have you installed DX7a?

Are you running Directx7? I had the same problem I had Directx6.1 then
I installed Directx7 and it worked.
