I just installed DirectX 9 (for Freelancer) and now games that required older versions of DirectX run terrible. Freelancer runs great, no complaintes there, but games like Homeworld and Sim City 3000 are not playable at all, very choppy.

I could not find anything on this and was hopeing someone here would know of this problem.

System is an Athlon 1600+, 382 DDR memory and GeForce 3 Ti, running Win98

As I said, these worked fine before DirectX 9 was installed...
