there should a DXINFO.EXE program somewhere on your hard disk (I think program files/directx not sure) that should tell you pretty everything.

you may even have a directx panel into control panel

no idea about A or B

click Start>Run and enter "dxdiag"

Wait a few seconds while the program gathers computer information. You should see the DirectX version on the first tab.

Version A denotes the latest version, so if there are version 8.1, 8.1a and 8.1b, you want to get 8.1b cause it's the latest.

my 3.5 cents.

To find your version click start then click run then type dxdiag then click ok.On the system page under system information you should find your version.8.2 is available by typinng directx 8.2 in the search box on gamershell.

Which I don't suppose installing just yet... Still beta, meaning buggy and unsupported. Use the 8.2 instead.
