I guess some user, it didn't work for them to well... http://home.elp.rr.com/vortex2050/dx9/ :: Windows 2000 Uninstallation Instructions Here are the instructions which are exactly the same as the ones included in the RAR. vorte[x]'s DirectX 9 Beta Uninstallation ======================================== WARNING: This uninstallation method is no where -NEAR- clean, but I have tested it on my 2000 w/ SP2 box, and it seems to get the job done. I take no responsibility whatsoever on what it does to your machine or other machines. NOTE: This procedure is bound to fail on Windows XP as the DirectX Eradicator program does -NOT-, I repeat, does -NOT- support Windows XP. Don't say I didn't warn you. Reading past this line acknoledges that you, the user, has read and understand fully the precautions / warnings stated above and that the creator of the instructions and applications will not be held liable for any mishaps. ----------------------------------------- 1) Reboot into safe mode. 2) Execute the DirectX Eradicator program already included in the Eradicator folder. I take no credit for this program. It was developed by Firecat and you can find his website @ (http://www.freewebz.com/firecat) 3) Reboot back into normal Windows mode. 4) Delete the Restore DirectX shortcut on the desktop. It was meant to restore DirectX from the Windows 2000 CD. We ain't going to do this. 5) Execute my DirectX9 cleanup batch file in the Cleanup folder. 6) Download and reinstall Microsoft's DirectX 8.1 from http://www.microsoft.com/directx 7) Reboot to finalize DirectX install. 8) You're done. To ensure no time-bombed files were left behind, set your date ahead one year and try executing a direct3D / openGL application. :: Windows XP / .NET Uninstallation Instructions Here are the instructions which are exactly the same as the ones included in the RAR. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ << DirectX 9 Uninstaller for XP / .NET >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This uninstaller uses your original XP or .NET CD to restore your original DirectX 8 files.

I tryed DX9 and for some reason none of my games or 3d Mark 2001 SE work, oh well, back to DX8.1, hehe.
Crash I can run them, they just crash and are unstable, like in 3d mark 2001 se I can't get through 10 secs of the 1st Car scene, whatever, did a nice clean boot, hehe.
Yea, I never had anything like it b4, oh well, I'll just wait, hehe, all the improvements I've seen are minor at best for now.
