Icons look weird
After installing DirectX 8 in my PC (pentium II 400, 128 dimm, win 98 SE, video card Nvidia TNT 32M) icons went crazy when setting the color config in 16 or 32 bits (everything works well under a 256 colours config). They started to appear in black and green, instead of their normal colours. I reinstalled windows, but it did not work.
Besides, I cannot uninstall DirectX 8, as It does not seem to have an uninstaller.
I have been told it has sth to do with GDI. What can I do?

Although you might think it sounds cool, I would expect that two PhDs gave you some maturity. WE are not used to these expressions here. Therefore I decided to change the wording of your question for you.
