How would I be able to uninstall DirectX 9 and go back to
DirectX 8?

Hi Fresc
To do this you would need to use the Windows System Restore tool and select
a checkpoint that was created before DirectX 9 was installed. Doing this
will also roll back other changes made since the restore point was created.
To open the system restore utility go to Start > All Programs > Accessories

Why would you be doing that? If you're having a problem, perhaps we can
assist in fixing it. DirectX 9 (especially 9.0b) is much more secure than
DirectX 8. However, if you must go back, make sure you're patched up from
Windows Update.

I ran into a problem where I have upgraded to Directx
9.0b quite a while ago, and now after installing so many
other updates and programs, try to run ATI MMC TV, and it
doesn't work anylonger. Found the following on ATI's
site :
"Microsoft has investigated reports that the DirectX 9.0b
release adversely affects a subset of ATI products with
PAL TV Tuners. We acknowledge that a change to DirectShow
TV Tuner support in this 7/25/03 release has impacted PAL
TV capture. We are developing a patch with high priority
to correct this issue. Please note that this change is
not related to the security fix identified in bulletin
MS03-030, although both fixes are in the DirectX 9.0b
release."
and the most painfull statement :
"For customers with DirectX 9.0b already installed, we
are making every effort to provide a patch at the
earliest possible date. On Windows XP, the customer
should consider using a restore point to revert the
system to a pre-DirectX 9.0b state "
There is no way for me to return to the pre 9.0b point,
so I'll have to miss ATI TV until some day MS is able to
provide a patch, unless there's someone out there that
can help.
