There is a DX Buster that works great.

Used it myself to recover from DX9.

Did  a search & found it for you.

Download it here

Be careful when messing with DirectX.  I tried removing the most current version a couple years ago.  Used a third party util (unfortunetly I forget which one) anyway it messed up my system pretty good, took a few days to get it running again.
