(copied and translated from Finnish UBB)
If you have problems with DirectX8 there might
still be one option before re-installing
Windows 98.
Copy text between lines in a notepad and save as ".bat" file.

_____________________________ ______________
Go to "Dos"-mode and execute ".bat"-file.
If your PC can't find your CD-drive re-start it.
Open "regedit" and search 4.08.00.0400 and
replace it with example 2.08.00.0400
Install DX7.
Notification:
This .BAT might still leave some Dx8 files to
your computer which can cause some errors.
Your PC, Your risk.
Worst thing that might happen
is you might need to re-install Win98.
Good luck !
