program will guide you through the installation process. If you
have an older version of DirectX installed, the installation program
will ask you if you would like to upgrade to DirectX 5. If you
choose "Yes", the installation program will guide you through the
installation process. If you choose "No" you will be given a warning
that Jazz Jackrabbit 2 may not work correctly, and you may encounter
performance problems because you are not using the latest DirectX
drivers.

SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE USING OLDER VERSIONS OF DIRECTX.
