DirectX Troubleshooter

Windows 98's much improved Help System now includes many new troubleshooters. One of these is the DirectX troubleshooter. Since DirectX is now built directly into Windows 98 (which is now required for many games), this is a good tool to have if you suspect problems with your Display or Sound setup.

With DirectX, programs take full advantage of your system to give you the best multimedia experience possible. DirectX offers better graphics, faster frame rates and more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation, and surround sound.

To access the DirectX troubleshooter, go to Start, then Help, click the Index tab, and enter troubleshooting into the keyword box. Under that heading, look for DirectX and double-click it.
