Users of Windows 95 or Windows 98 may not have  DirectX installed. You can download Directx7 here --> dx7aeng.exe  DirectX7 or higher is required on TrakMate versions 3.0.19 and higher.  DirectX was needed to support overlapping sounds. Version 3.0.16 which does not require DirectX is still available for download below.
