I Recently purcased Game Programming All in One but I Can''t get DirectX 8.1 SDK to install on my windows 95 machine. I have DirectX 6.1 on it now and have not tried DirectX 7.

Sorry to say, but your hosed.
DX8 does not support Win95. No way around it, sorry.

DX8 will work on ''95 (I have it on my laptop)
8.1 may not.

Ok, I just checked the Microsoft site. The last version of DX that supports Win95 is 8.0a. 8.1 is Win98 and above only. So I was partly wrong, sorry bout that. But your still kinda hosed.

Yeah, support for DX8 on Windows 95 is shaky, at best. You''ll be much better off if you upgrade to 98SE.
