It doesn't make things slow and goey... does it?

Anyhow...

DirectX 8.1 is a system component and cannot be uninstalled. If there is a problem with the DirectX installation, it can normally be resolved by shutting down all running applications and reinstalling. As mentioned previously, DirectX 8.1 is fully backward-compatible with titles written for previous versions of DirectX. If you are having other problems after installing DirectX 8.1, these can often be resolved by installing updated drivers for your display card, audio card, or input device.

From Microsofts site.. there might be some kind of program that can hack it out though?

It's in German but fairly straightforward.
