Direct X is supported in XP,maybe it needs to be up-
graded though.Go to microsoft.com,downloads,get version
9b for end users,probably only one listed.If you want
to chk current direct x,go to run,typeXDIAG run button
the direct x checker will start,try before and after the
update.Windows update should also offer the new version.

....and the games, how old are they? some games are written to run on
specific versions of windows...XP being the NT kernal...many old games were
written to run on '98...etc
