OK First try download the latest Video drivers for your Graphics card.

If That dosen't work then try
Look in add/remove programs for DX7 setup or something like that(please excuse the vagness I haven't been tinkering with PC setting in ages and I only have a nt4 station at work)
Anywayz if i remember the Dirx can't be unistalled.

You can also try this
go into explorer
prog.file
Directx(something in that line)
there is a setup file you can run
Double click this file
Check the documentaion that came thiss the game,their mught be some settings you can disable to getthe game to run.

I Hope that helps
Have Fun (I miss my gameming dayz);-(

Go to the Microsoft Knowledgebase and look up DirectX 6,it will give you info on how to uninstall and reinstall the directx drivers to run your games.

Microoft has a tendency to have backward capacity built into its programs. The first thing to do is go to EAsports and download the patch for your game. Make sure your system is up to date;the OS,videocard,sound,ect. Run the Microsoft upgrade wizard-start-windows update. There are probally patches available for your machine. DirectX 8 is out try that as well.
If none of the above works you can run directx control panel and uninstall the program from there, but forwarning, the entire program will not uninstall. Run regedit to find all traces of the program(DirectX)you can do a find by pressing cntr-f,to find directx. Only proceed if you are comfortable messing with your registry.If you modify anything incorrectly it could render your machine inopertable.

1) Uninstall the directX 7.x from the control panel (if it is shown there).
2) Before you do that; please check:
a) the patch of the EA CWC99;
b) if other problems besides that; do that:
start-->run-->"sfc" (sfc.exe)
c) check the updated (not the beta or uncertified version) of the driver for the video card.

You should also make sure that your sound card drivers are updated, since Direct X is both sound and video.
