Need Help With DirectX

How can I tell if I've deleted a DirectX file or installed a duplicate?
I'm sure now that I've screwed something up. I had run Cr*pCleaner before it went on the blink and also deleted some files manually. The reason I'm so sure that its me and not just an old graphics card is that now suddenly my system is saying something like "Cant initiate DirectX for Internet Explorer".
So how do I comletely remove DirectX and reinstall it properly? I'm guessing that would be easier than going through each file trying to find the kink.
Thanks for your help.
