Thats a tough one.
 
I beta tested this and its a ***** to remove. You can use the repair function on the 2000 CD, or you can use the GTA3 fix which might overwrite the newer files.

You can also manually delete all Direct 3d files.

Why did you install DirectX 8.1b, were you having problems with the previous version.
 
DirectX 9 will be next version worth upgrading to.

OP
Ran a DirectX uninstaller. Back to 8.1 now, 1 emulator still doesn't work, will have to figure that one out. Thanks for your suggestions.
