DIRECTX SECTION:
DirectX v2.0
(Windows 95 only)
The DirectX drivers from Microsoft are a required utility
for most Windows 95 native games. Included in the file
are DirectDraw, Direct3D, DirectInput, DirectPlay and
DirectSound. Please be advised that DirectX will install
new video drivers on your system. Two versions of DirectX
are available. The smaller file is for use with most US
systems, the second includes the US drivers, as well as
support for Japanese and NEC systems.

DirectX v3.0 (Windows 95 only)
Version 3.0 of the DirectX drivers contains all of the
files from version 2.0, but with enhanced controller
support, support for MMX technology, and some minor
adjustments. There have been some reported compatibility
problems with DirectX v3.0, so we recommend you download
the 3.0 drivers only if they are specifically required by
the game.
