First off all how did you got dx10 in xp where only dx9 is compitable. Secondly making such unathorized changes is totally harmfull. Reinstall your os its the easiest way and download the latest dx update package from microsoft.com.

Mr.Hunt, this was a problem I had ages ago, and I tried every single directx uninstaller available. And since force-reinstalling directx is not possible, your only way is to reinstall windows.

The option to uninstall DirectX is only included in XPlite Professional.

Thankyou for purchasing XPlite Professional.

Available in *coughcough* sites.

I havent tried it, so I cant say, although the only solution I suggest for uninstalling DX10 on xp is reinstalling xp. Only that works, as far as I have tried.

I think Microsoft held the gamers to hold exclusively to vista by making their DX10 exlusively for it.......but how come DX10 on xp....have you hacked the registry to act like vista?

^^ I tried it too, and I got it back in dxdiag window, although the files were corrupted and games crashed. A LOT. And nero setup didnt even start.

Try running games.
