DirectX 9.0c versus DirectX 8.1

srtek
This past weekend, my son installed DirectX 9. 0c on his PC only to find that none of his old games would run anymore. Note that he was running DirectX 8. 1 before DirectX 9. 0c was installed. There is no way, to my limited knowledge, other than re-imaging his machine, to un-install DirectX 9.
