54366 2002-06-14 06:15:00 I am running an older system (cyrix 266mmx, win98se)and have just installed dx 8.1. My system ran better with dx 7 and i would like to return to it, but apart from this minor niggle my system is stable as buggery and i would rather not have to 'reinstall windows'. Is there any way to remove/uninstall directx 8.1? Guest (0)
54367 2002-06-14 07:25:00 I seem to recall a tool that can uninstall DirectX8.0 but it is very much a gamble whether it will succeed or not. You may very well end up reinstalling Windows in any case. I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you're really determined and prepared to reinstall Windows if it fails. DirectX seems to be so entwined into Windows core code that it is very difficult to uninstall it.

Cheers,
Rod.

be warned you may have to do an 'over the top' windows reinstall to get everything working again.
