If you want to uninstall DirectX, just RE-INSTALL your computer(by deleting everything). After that you can download DirectX at www.microsoft.com!

Dead easy, just tell windows that the current version installed is a
lower version.

Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
DirectX
Version
For 9.0c I have a version number of 4.09.0000.0904
Change it to 4.08.0000.0904 and windows (and direct X installers) will believe you
have directX 8 installed.

I had directX 9.0B installed and 9.0c refused to install until I pulled
this trick on it.

Xocyll

worked for me

It's not fair!I have had Rome:Total War for 6 months and when I played it, it worked fine but a few months ago i uninstalled it. Now i installed it back and installed directx off the microsoft site but when i click to play it it says it cannot find directx. I went on to dxdiag.exe and it said my version ws not found .I keep installing it againand again but it wont work and comes up with taht same Rome:Total War could not find directx error message
I have tried to uninstall and install with theses programmes but nothing works.
Please can you help me because I really want to play this again.

War's Regedit trick worked like a charm for me. Thanks

i tried the Regedit method, but when i try installing direct x 9.0c, it will say that the components are already installed and ready to be used. i don't know wat to do again.............

For the Regedit method, the line above Version is InstalledVersion. Its a binary number, you have to modify the 09 to 08
