System Requirements: 
The DirectX 8.2 release supports Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 
2000 and Windows XP. The DirectX installation process requires approximately 60 
megabytes (MB) of free space on your hard drive. Once installed, you can delete 
the installation files. The remaining DirectX files use approximately 16 MB of hard 
drive space. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your computer, 
you will see little difference in used space on your hard drive. DirectX 8.2 will 
overwrite the earlier versions. 
Note: After installation, the DirectX 8.2 runtime cannot be removed 
(uninstalled). The installation process changes core components and makes numerous 
registry changes within your operating system. Microsoft does not support un-installation.
