How do I uninstall Direct X 9.0?

I installed it and my computer has not been running aswell since. Specifically, I have a number of programs that like to hang now that I have 9.0 installed.

(btw all my drivers are up to date)

Format yer hard drive. Hope you have some backups.

Pretty much, its not possible without a re-install of windows.

Remind me to thank Microsoft for that.

I know if you download DirectX 9 from MS it's not possible to uninstall it. I'm not sure about the runtime version though.

Ya, you do need to format to get rid of it.

Actually you can remove dx9; I have done it successfully.

Unfortunately I don't remember how but essentially you need your windows disc and a program that hot swaps the dx8 files from disc to your dxfolder. search google for uninstall dx9 and you WILL find it.
