Error: c:\windows\system32\d3d8thk.dll is either not design to run on Windows or it contains an error

I was installing a new version of directx and suddenly when i open a game or some application which requires graphics setting this shows up...

"c:\windows\system32\d3d8thk.dll is either not design to run on Windows or it contains an error...."

I removed the file d3d8thk.dll and download another one from a dll site. I guess that was my mistake.

I tried to reinstall an older version of directx but nothing.

Please i need your help to fix this.
