Actually, you can downgrade DX8 to DX7. You're not the first person who has seen DX8 cause more problems than good. I came across one time a patch, basically it resets some registry keys and might even delete some DX files to fool Windows into thinking DirectX is not installed or has an older version installed. That way you can run a DX7 install and it will go smooth (normally, any DX install only looks for UPDATED components, and if your system is already up-to-date, you can't go back). So it's just a matter of fooling Windows, which is usually pretty easy to do if you take the time to play around with it enough.
