Hello there. I just installed a new version of DirectX yesterday - DirectX 8.1 for Win9x (I am using Win98SE) - and this lead to some problems dealing with both Direct3D and the onboard sound ...

i need it because directX 9.0 which i downloaded for windows XP pro is not working for my game.i cant find directX 8.1 anywhere?
