Game Controllers Properties button not working

Joy.cpl opens fine, and each device has "OK" next to it, but when I attempt to click "properties," no worky. Says "Necessary support files not found." I think this may have to do with my monkeying with Directx, as 9.0c screwed over my joystick's compatibility with X-Wing Alliance, and I used a utility to uninstall it forcibly. I then proceeded to attempt reinstalls with 8.0 and 7.0, but neither worked. Now, after reinstalling 9.0c, the properties button remains unavailable, the joystick -still- doesn't work in X-Wing Alliance, and it's becoming very frustrating. I don't have my Windows 2000 cd as it is in CO with my dad--I do have a full copy on the hard drive, however. Both input devices worked before--one is a usb and one is a serial port. How can I:

A) Return the Properties button to normal functioning
B) Get X-Wing Alliance's aging software to detect my version of DirectX enough to recognize my joystick?
