Roll back DirectX with handy shareware
DirectX has long been the bane of those Windows users who aren't so keen on gaming. If alien zapping or football plays really aren't your thing, then there's no honest-to-goodness reason that you'd want the crazed MS multimedia API sat on your system, consuming your resources.
At the other end of the scale, if you're the sort of hardcore gamer that likes to play with point releases and betas of the latest DirectX software, then you'll also have realised that rolling back between revisions is, shall we say, a testing affair.
So, enter the new version of the accurately named 'DirectX Happy Uninstall', which is available here. It does what it says on the tin - uninstalls DirectX from your system. The latest version was pushed out yesterday, taking the software to v3.96.
It'll cost you $12 shareware, old-school style, but if you're having issues with your rig and want to avoid a re-install, you might find it saves the day.
The downside? No support for Vista or DirectX 10. Anybody crazy enough to go in that direction is on their own, ya here?
