Well, first I should note that while I'm not 100% on this, you may need the european bios to play european versions of the game (denoted by the [E] in the title of the game). I've also heard of certain european versions needing particular fixes to run. Personally I always opt for US versions (denoted by a (U)); I would recommend trying the US version of the game instead.
With that out of the way, whether you choose to use the european bios or get the US version instead, if you still have issues when loading the game using the .cue file, one thing to look at is the .cue file itself. Open it in a text editor (i.e., notepad). It should look like this;

Where it says FILE, some cues are set up to assume the .bin file is in a specific directory; having it simply say,
FILE "NAMEOFBINFILE.BIN"
tells it to reference the bin file in the same directory as the cue. If yours happens to look different, change it so it looks like this (substituting in the actual name of your .bin file if it doesn't match what I have up there).
If the .cue isn't the issue I would try using a different video plugin; I normally use Pete's D3D DX6 plugin. Granted I have a much lower end computer, but it's always worked well for me.
Here's the settings I would try it on initially;
The only settings I would adjust initially are "Off-Screen drawing" to "Standard" and enabling Special Game Fixes, clicking the "..." button by it and selecting the FF9 related fix in the window that pops up. Also you can choose fullscreen instead of windowed of course. If this configuration works for you (I.e., the game gets at least to the title screen), feel free to adjust the color depth, Texture filtering, resolution etc to get a better picture.
If you don't have the plugin already you can find it here; http://www.pbernert.com/gpupete177.zip
Let me know if any of this helps. Also if anyone else would like to clear up the deal with [E] versions of games for me that'd be great.

"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
