I doubt that it would install an older dx in xp, I had a game install an 
older version of dx and I ended up having to wipe xp :) I'm guessing the 
installer is 16-bit and thats the problem :( Did you FULLY monitor an 
install on a win9x machine as I suggested ? 2 more options if you MUST 
have this game, dual-boot to win9x, or try running a virtual win9x 
within xp using VMWare
