No body is running into this problem?

Anyone know if there is going to be another update to GameEx that resolves the compatibility of DirectX 10 on XP. I got effing tricked into installing 10 instead of 9.0c. Here's what I've been getting since I installed direct 10 and updated gameex with the new update: Pisses me off cause i got all the emulators and controls working on my new mini-itx machine I built specifically to run GameEx. Took me a weekend to get everything right.

apparently it is....there's got to be a way to get rid of it without having to reinstall the entire OS. Microsoft Lied to me!!!!
