Hey! And Merry Christmas to All!

After reinstalling Win98SE yesterday, I discovered that somehow I
messed up DirectX 9.0b. I'm using a Chaintech Geforce4 Ti4200 with the
45.23 drivers. Here's what the Dxdiag program says:

Beyond reinstalling Win98SE once again, what can be done to fix this
problem? I can't run any D3D games like Warcraft 3 and Morrowind, but
have no problems with RTCW:ET (OpenGL game).
