If you did not install it when prompted during the games installation, you may install it by double-clicking on the DXSETUP file found within a DirectX folder on the CDROM. You may also download the newest end-user version of DirectX from the following address:

www.microsoft.com/directx

Please reference our DirectX troubleshooting guide if you continue to experience troubles with DirectX.
