DirectX®
9.0b

During the Spider-Man 2 setup, the install process will prompt
you to install Microsoft® DirectX on your computer. If you choose "Yes," the
Microsoft DirectX setup program will install the appropriate files on your
computer.
Please refer to the DirectX website for further
information or localization updates. http://www.microsoft.com/directx

Q. What is DirectX 9.0b and
why do I need it?
A. DirectX 9.0b is a set of sound, video, input and network functions
developed by Microsoft. Spider-Man 2 utilizes the functions that are
included with DirectX 9.0b.

Q. If I don’t install DirectX 9.0b when I install
the game, can I install it later?
A. Yes. You will need to manually install it. To do so, use the following
instructions:
1. Place your Spider-Man 2 in the CD-ROM drive. The
Launch screen should appear. (See AutoPlay if it does not appear.)
2. Click on the "Extras" button.
3. Click on "DirectX" and follow the installation process. When DirectX installation finishes, you
will need to restart your computer for the new drivers to work.

Q. I already have other Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
games installed on my computer. Will
the Microsoft DirectX Installer change my DirectX files?
A. If you already have other Windows 98/2000/ME/XP games on your
computer, chances are you already have a version of DirectX installed. In this case, the Microsoft installer will
detect and overwrite any previous versions with DirectX 9.0b. At that point, you will need to restart
your computer for the changes to take effect. If, however, you already
have DirectX 9.0b installed on your computer, the Microsoft DirectX 9.0b installer
will detect it and not overwrite any files.
You will not need to restart your computer after installation in order
to run Spider-Man 2.
