Summary: A re-install of the operating system may be needed if you need to uninstall Directx 9.
How can I uninstall Directx 9?
To the best of my knowledge you can't. Once installed, it becomes part of the operating system. If you need to uninstall then a Google search for "DirectX Uninstall" returns several hits, but I can't speak for their quality. Ultimately, the approach I would try would be be to re-install the operating system and then not install DirectX 9.

Hey Leo, I got a question about Direct X. I probably installed an illegal direct X 10 from a website and when I want to install XP Codec it says that I have to install Direct 7.0 or Higher??????? So, how can I delete this Direct X to install a new one from Microsoft official website??
Posted by: Vundo at October 16, 2008 12:02 AMIt's me again, when I Run... "dxdiag" it appears Direct X 10 successfuly and I ran all the Direct X tests and all of them worked proparly. So I am not comfortable about it from XP Codec is telling me Direct X 7 or Higher and I got Direct X 10 so please answer ASAP.
Posted by: Vundo at October 16, 2008 12:08 AMleo...are you sure you can't downgrade directx 9.0c? cuz 9.0c is the crappiest piece of $#@! I have ever seen, cuz it can't play games that need 9.0 (such as GTA SA)

u most likely installed a keyboard or other hid usb device recintly that messed it up the key is to find out what one and uninstall all the old ones and new ones then reinstall so u have no old or currupt drivers my case was a keyboard on my friends computer

After i install directx_aug2008_redis
Posted by: salem80 at April 25, 2009 1:15 PMi can't start 3DMark at anyway the program freeze before start..
i can't back to previous version of directx..
hey, this way of deleting is extremely UNSAFE for window XP as i tested, u cant re-install ANY directx after u deleted your main directx from HKEY_local_machine, don't try it if you don't know what are you doing.
Posted by: john at September 22, 2009 4:09 AMI got an error message when I started Modern Warfare - World At War, stating there was an unrecoverable error with DIrectX. I'd previously played this game ok. I tried starting the game a few times, with the same error. Since that didn't work, I downloaded the latest version of DirectX (just in case). Tried to install it, but eceived message that it wouldn't install, as I already had the latest version. Fullishly, after checking on Google, I followed instructions to delete DirectX from my Registry (stupidly, I didn't make a copy first). No matter what I do, I can't install DirectX. I've even tried loading my XP disc, but get told my current operating system is newer ! Any suggestions ?
