    Clean install is the only real way to make sure you've done it correctly. Failing that, just install over your current version and then run dxdiag from the command line and check the versions of the dlls. If this is a recent mistake, and you're running XP I would suggest the "system restore" feature. Good luck, it is very difficult to uninstall directx.
