Microsoft DirectX is an advanced suite of multimedia APIs built into Microsoft Windows operating systems. These system files are required to run the latest Multimedia Applications and games. DirectX provides a standard development platform for Windows-based PCs by enabling software developers to access specialized hardware features without having to write hardware-specific code.
This latest version of DirectX offers updated graphics, faster frame rates, and support for massively multiplayer games. It also offers more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation, and surround sound. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your system, you will see little difference in available space on your hard drive following the installation.
DirectX 9.0 also includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs.
This version of DirectX 9.0 is for Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP. DirectX 9.0 will not run on Windows 95.
Note: This 292KB download is the setup file for DirectX 9.0 which will connect to the internet upon installation and download the necessary files for your operating system. Full installation can be as large as 16.0MB. |  |
