For Hardware Rendering under Windows 7 64 bit:

Install DS9:THe Fallen using the FULL option.
For some reason, the setup screen only provides software rendering as an option
To activate Hardware rendering using D3D:
Run the game once to have the ds9.ini created. You will no option other than software rendering so start the game up.

QUIT the game immediately and navigate to the DS9TheFallensystem directory.
Edit the ds9.ini file and change the following:

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice

to

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

Run the game once more voila, hardware redering via D3D is now activated. Don't change the redererer from the game options screen or you will be back seeing only the software rendering option when the game forces a restart.

Note: Changing the renderer to using opengl will work, but the game runs way to fast. D3D runs the game at normal speed.
