DirectX9.0 compatible graphics adaper ?

I have a toshiba satelite intel centrino duo with windows xp. Two days ago I was removing a program from my computer and accidentally removed a program named Intel ActiveX something. Now my Sims Life Stories and some of my other games wont play. It keeps telling me that I need to install a diectx 9.0c compatible adapter. This never happened before until I accidentally unistalled the Intel ActiveX thingy! Help!!! What should I do???

Try using Windows Restore to go back to a time before you uninstalled the files
