Hi,
After exhaustive troubleshooting with other players who had the
same problem, the solution was to repair Windows. It's not as
risky as it sounds, and it ensures you will have a stable platform
to work with, whereas 3rd party uninstallers can be risky.
If it was my system, I would repair it.. It's your choice.
🙂

| Is that the only way to go back to directx 8? I also have
| a directx uninstaller program that says I can get the files
| off the xp cdrom but I searched through my xp cd and
| couldnt find any directx files/folders. This repairing
| windows thing sounds kinda risky, especially considering
| how directx is the only thing I need fixed/reverted. Plus
| wont the update just give me directx 9.0c which will just
| be the same as what I am doing now(read: wont work I will
| still be stuck with 9.0b)?

| Thanks for the reply!
