This file contains the directx 2 final drivers which are not guaranteed in any way, shape or form to work correctly, or to not cause damage to your system. But that probably won't happen... You may need to grab the latest direct x 2 drivers for your video and/or sound card from their manufacturers web pages or bbses if you have problems with the drivers. Installation instructions: Unzip this file to your ROOT directory maintaining directory structure (-d) then run install.bat. eg: pkunzip dx2b3drv -d c:\ c: cd \directx install You could also do the same thing with WINZIP or a similiar utility. If your windows\system directory is not located at c:\windows\system, you should manually copy m*.dll from \directx to your system directory. You may want to leave the directx directory on your system, as you can run dxsetup.exe to restore your original settings, but if everything is working fine, then you might as well delete it as it takes up a lot of space.
