some where between 5-7 programs trying to downgrade from
X9c because it wasnt working, i erased the whole directx
directory on xp. when i try the RUN:dxdiag, it comes up
has Direct X Version: not found. is there anyway to put
back on a direct x 9b without reformatting. i have tryed
to go on microsoft.com but ie crashes.

A Repair Install would most likely work:
