DirectX for Windows 95 note
The Microsoft DirectX interface version 2.0 or later must be installed for DirectX programs
(some games and multimedia software) to work correctly, and so these programs can benefit
from Matrox hardware acceleration. The DirectX interface includes DirectDraw,
DirectVideo, Direct3D and others. You may not need to install DirectX, since many
programs install DirectX as part of their own setup. However, older programs may install
an earlier version of DirectX.
To see if DirectX version 2.0 or later is installed:
1
Right-click the Windows 95 desktop.
2
