Hey Jes,
One thing you could try is rolling back to an older graphics card driver. I'm not sure I entirely trust the drivers on those things, based on what I have heard.

Another thing you could try, and I have no idea if this will work, but try moving d3d8.dll to another folder and then try updating DirectX again. Just in case the file is corrupted and isn't getting fixed by updating.
