bearing in mind that formatting your drive wipes everything off of it, I don't think that is the solution he is looking for....

Try reinstalling the directx5 to the same folder it is in then try the new unisnstall or restore option. should work then. try it. it sure beats formatting and reinstalling everything else. Chuck Norton

Go to Control Panel,....Add / Remove programs and remove it there. It's a Microsoft product, it uninstalls better if win95 does it itself. Mike There are few things in life that a chainsaw can't fix...... "Bill the Cat" Bloom County

Unfortunately, this method does not work! Although there is an entry in Add/remove programs, all it does is run DXSETUP. there is no uninstall option. Manual uninstall is the only way, and I wish someone would tell me how, cos I want to get rid of DX5.2.

If all you want to do is go back to an older version of DirectX, I believe that you can install an older version of DirectX on top of your current drivers and it will replace them. You probably already tried this and I am wrong, but if not try installing whatever version of DirectX you want to go back to overtop your current drivers.

Tried that of course, but doesn't work. DX checks version numbers, and if later doesn't do anything. Thanks anyway! >If all you want to do is go back to an older version of DirectX, I believe that >you can install an older version of DirectX on top of your current drivers and >it will replace them.
